Other Motor Tracts [Part 2] | Rubrospinal & Tectospinal Tracts

The video tutorial discusses motor pathways from the brain to skeletal muscles, focusing on the rubrospinal and tectospinal tracts. The rubrospinal tract, originating from the red nucleus, controls fine hand movements and distal extensor muscles, exerting contralateral control. The tectospinal tract, originating from the superior colliculus, uses visual stimuli to direct head and eye movements towards stimuli. Both tracts decussate in the midbrain before reaching the pons.
