Alternative Figure 6.10A: Somatotopic Organization of Corticobulbar and Corticospinal Tracts – Horizontal Section of Internal Capsule

An illustration shows the forebrain's horizontal section with the internal capsule, which indicates the corticospinal tract. An enlarged view of the internal capsule shows the Putamen, Globus pallidus, head of caudate, and thalamus. The internal capsule consists of the anterior limb, Genu, and posterior limb. The motor fibers for the leg, the trunk, the arm, and the face are located in the internal capsule’s posterior limb.
