* Most of the cortico-spinal fibers (about 90%) cross over to the contralateral side in the http://www.answers.com/topic/medulla-oblongata (http://www.answers.com/topic/decussation-of-the-pyramids). Those that cross in the medulla oblongata travel in the http://www.answers.com/topic/lateral-corticospinal-tract. * The remainder of them (10%) cross over at the level that they exit the http://www.answers.com/topic/spinal-cord, and these travel in the http://www.answers.com/topic/anterior-corticospinal-tract. Most of the cortico-spinal fibers (about 90%) cross over to the contralateral side in the medulla oblongata (pyramidal decussation). Those that cross in the medulla oblongata travel in the lateral corticospinal tract. The remainder of them (10%) cross over at the level that they exit the spinal cord, and these travel in the anterior corticospinal tract.
