Neurology | Descending Tracts: Corticospinal Tract 

Anyone reading this who is trying to become a doctor- thank you. I’m so afraid that we won’t have any doctors in 10 years. Please don’t quit please I’m getting old I’m gonna need doctors!

Your video is so very helpful! Thank you. I feel less like crying, throwing up, and giving up now. You are wonderful!

This guy teaches as cutely as he himself is. Please continue making videos for us medical students We'll be grateful

The word "Legend" has no plural form, coz it is only one, and that's you. You are the most and only fantastic international teacher on RU-vid.

I can't do more than subscribe, like and comment. you saved my life man thank you from deep inside my heart " really thank you"

Bravo! 35 minutes of fluent teaching without any interruption or hesitation

Brilliant, Sir! What is outstanding in your presentation is that you immediately talking about the tracts. Confusion arises when the topic begins with talking about the Lateral Pathways and Anterior medial pathways etc.etc. Just this morning I watched the presenter getting very confused!!!! (about the anterior medial pathway which he 'dragged' it into the discussion about the lateral pathway! Sad to watch!). You are a very gifted teacher and a wonderful communicator. Your greatest gift is recognising what the "guts" of the issue is and communicating it clearly. Many who have videos on the motor pathway and other neurology topics (or on any topic) have a great deal to learn from you. Thank you and all the best! If only I had a teacher like you years and years ago in medical school.......!!!!

1st year medico sitting here during quarantine and watching your videos rather than watching my online classes!! U are truly amazing!! THANKS A LOT FOR THIS!! ❣️

I genuinely want to be your friend. Every video I watch of yours, I am going to comment, which still doesn't show how much I appreciate you! Thank you for making this easy to follow

Damn !!! In the final year of medicine and now I ve finally understood the umn pathway.... The systematic approach was crazy...

First year of med school going on here and you literally saved me on my neurological anatomy course! This is so much more illustrative than reading any book! Thank you so much.

Love your teaching style man. Good personality! Keep it up.

You literally took what professors & other videos teach in hours & days & beautifully summarized all key points in 35 minutes of pure bliss! Thank you to the moon & back!

Hey! y'all killed it! I loved the enthusiasm and excitement that comes through!

This has saved me hours of textbook reading!! Thank you.

You're absolutely awesome!!! You are such a good teacher, You make everything so clear for me! Nobody has ever been able to explain all of this so easily, even if I'm not an english native speaker. Thank you so much!!

I love watching your videos. They really help me understand the materials that I study at school. I feel your energy and passion on the topics that you teach, and it is amazing to see how much you have influenced me in a positive way. Thank you so much!

Please never stop making these videos.

Seriously AWESOME video!! I love that you ask questions that allow me to pause the video and think. So great and sending to friends in my class.

First-year grad student here. Thank you so much for explaining so clearly! I feel like I can follow along more easily with the tracts because of this video, and I thoroughly appreciate the repetition! I definitely need it.

Great work! Explained everything in full detail, definitely understand this corticospinal now! Thank you, keep it up!

The way you explain and order things is genuinely a million times more clear than the way we get taught the exact same content in Cambridge medicine...

I have been struggling with this subject for a while. This really cleared things up! Thank you!!

learning this thing is never been this easy, thank you so much for making me finally understand , you're ammaazing! keep on going man!

Been desperately searching for a good explanation for difference between Corticospinal vs Corticobulbar tract! just 4 minutes through your video helped me get through the mess I was in! Awesome! You literally help learners overcome that subtle information we are struggling to get through to becoming experts!

I personally think your videos are amazing and you've literally helped me pass my exams!! so so thankful and grateful to have tutors like you. I respect you and value your work.

one of the best and most detailed explanations I've ever heard!

You saved my life with this video. I spent 2 1/2 hours in lecture and couldn't grasp this but the way you break everything down step by step and build on things is so effective for learning. Thank you!!!

Lots of my colleagues here in Poland study this crap by heart. Im one of a few that actually understands whats going on inside the brain thanks to your videos. Metabolism videos also helped me with lots of exams. Thank you :D

It´s a pleasure to listen to you. Very helpful explanations. Thank you!

I can't tell you how incredibly helpful your videos are. Thank you!

In my final years of studying med in Sydney, Aus, and have always thought all neuroanat was the scariest and hardest EVER! Was sooooo stressed studying for my finals, especially stroke cases. This video answered EVERY Q i had about corticospinal tract omg I'm so ecstatic, you don't even understand. If this knowledge ever helps a patient of mine, I'll be crediting you in my head :)

This is so unbelievably helpful!! THANK YOU!! all of your neurology videos are saving my life right now. God Bless!

Great video, so helpful and easily laid out. When I learnt this in my lectures (studying Physiotherapy) my brain just shut down, but you've helped me to understand it! Hopefully it will stick for my exams in a few weeks! THANK YOU!

Your content is amazing. Thorough with detailed explanations, but easy to understand all the same. I'm a first year medical student and my peers and I are benefiting so much from your teaching style as we finish up our CNS unit. Keep doing what you're doing! Thank you.

You're keeping my grad school career afloat. THANK YOU

Such a clear explanation! It really is a pleasure to learn from you. Thanks team! You are making Neurology way easier for a med student.

Just wish that university lectures are like him.😢

Thank you so much! This has totally made my Neuroanatomy lectures come together and it finally makes sense! Really super needed this. Thank you thank you thank you!

Absolute legend. He’s helping millions of future doctors throughout the world.

Thank you for that video Zach. It was very informative and just what I needed. Appreciate your work!

i love your videos, straight to the point unlike other people who make 1 hour video just to explain 1 tract.

This video was hands down the best educational tool for me on this topic, thank you so much! Seriously, stupendous.

Thanks a lot for all your effort, Ninja Nerd!

Ninja nerd, you 're such a good teacher!! All of your physiology videos are incredibly helpful. Concerning this corticospinal tracts section, a video on muscle tone (dynamic and tonic nuclear bag fibers, muscular reflex) would be even more helpful! Thanks a lot!

Amazing knowledge and beautifully presented in a clear and understandable way. Thank you for making neuroanatomy accessible to the people.

Thank you Sir so much for clearing my concepts. This is so helpful .

Your videos are wonderful! They make sense of things that my tiny brain could not fathom out after literally hundreds of pages of medical journals.

Man, I wish I found this channel 2 weeks earlyer! You tell the neuroanatomy much more understandeble than my professors on my native language. Thank you! I have one more week, with your channel I feel some chance again!

I am very greatful to you that you are providing these lectures for free and I don't know what would had happened to the medicos without you.

You’re a gem. Thankyou for making this so much easier. Truly, truly indebted!

Awesome , full clear conceptual video . Thank you

Thanks for explaining the CST so nicely. It helps me clarify a majority of concepts regarding the role of brain and spinal cords for motor actions. This understanding will help me designing the brain-robot interface based rehabilitation interventions for poststroke functional recovery.

This video really helped me get pass my Physio class in my second year. Now, I'm heading into my internship. Thank you so much! 🙏

best explanation I have come across. very clear, very educational and thoroughly explanatory!

Thank you so much for your explaination, accurate and clear.... greetings from Italy, you're helping me to study for my Anatomy exam!

man, you are an angel! wish i had this motivation after watching this video back in med school.. keep it up!

This video seems to be very helpful to me. All the structure were explained so clearly and easily. Thanks for the video.

I can never thank another person soooooo much in my entire life!

You made a not english native speaker and violinist, actually writing a master´s degree thesis about music therapy in stroke rehabilitation, understand. Thank you!!!

You are saving my life here. Thank you so so much 🙏🏼

Thank you so much. It really helped me clear all my concepts. Now that l’am in final year,I have pretty much forgotten most of the anatomy of first year. I could recall almost everything after watching your video. Thank you once again

Wow. Wow wow. Thankyou soo much sir for making it simple. Only half hour ur video make crystal clear concept

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH you are saving my life here!

This was AMAZING! Thank you so much you just changed my world!

Love you! You are saving my neurology test! ❤️

Can't thank you enough for this, I was considering myself someone who cram things but thank God now I believe on myself that I am a conceptual student

Im taking a neuroscience class in spanish and its killing me, but since i found this channel you guys are helping me get through this class... i get quite defeated trying to process what i read, i'm a visual learner and your drawings, explanations and repetition helps so much, thanks guys!

This is the best explanation I've gotten on this topic. And really, I enjoyed it, thank You and God bless You

I was watching this other channel's video over and over AND OVER again because I wouldn't understand sheep but then I found your video and just gawwdd thank you!!! Not only do you explain it SO well but also you get as excited about teaching it as I do learning about it. So really thank you so much!!

Thank you! I'm from Brazil and we enjoy a LOT your lecture. Nice job.

This is my first day starting to study Neurology and thanks to you I'm off to a great start! :)

you made this difficult topic extremely easy to understand and remember, cheers!

amazing summary of motor systems in the cortex ( how they communicate, send blue prints to each other, etc) and descending tracts (mentioning what exactly the internal capsule, lateral funiculi, ventral funiculi are)! Must-watch series :-D

Loved it, your lectures are incredibly well thought out and so comprehensive, so so so appreciate the ninjanerd team

i am massage therapist and this is very needed for me .i am very much blessed and i educate while watching ur utube.
