Babinski's sign is caused by a lesion in the corticospinal tract (UMN) that produces a characteristic pathological sign of extension of the great toe and fanning of the remaining toes. This also occurs in infants before the corticospinal tract is fully developed, in adults during sleep, or sometimes in adults after strenuous walking or running.
