First sentence: DIVIDING the motor path into an upper cortico-spinal segment, extending from the cells of the cortex to the gray matter of the cord, and a lower spino-muscular, extending from the ganglia of the anterior horns to the motorial end plates, the palsies which I propose to consider have their anatomical seat in the former, and may result from a destructive lesion of the motor centres, or of the pyramidal tract, in hemisphere, internal capsule, crus or pons.
