Chris Theodorakis had pyramidal tract involvement.
I am just now reading The Westing Game myself for a book report/project and so far this is the most interresting books i have ever read.

What is lateral corticospinal tract?
Lateral corticospinal tract is the part of pyramidal tract that consists of crossed pyramidal fibres. So, it's also called as "crossed pyramidal tract".as for anterior corticospinal tract, it consists of uncrossed pyramidal fibres.
The pyramidal tract is the major descending voluntary motor tract?
the corticospinal tract and the pyramidal spinal tract are the same tract. yes this tract is the main voluntary motor tract, remember that this tract split in two after the decussation of pyramids (hence the term pyramidal tract) the fibres that do decussate create the lateral portion which innervates the limbs, shoulders and neck the fibers that dont decussate here continue ipsilaterally creating an anterior/ventral portion which innervate the truck, these eventually do decussate at their spinal exit level
Where does pyramidal tract cross?
medulla of brainstem
What are the sites of origin of the pyramidal tract?
the pyramidal cells in layer 5 of areas 4, 6 ,3-1&2
A positive finding in an adult represents upper motor neuron disease of the pyramidal tract?
Babinski's reflex
If you suspect pyramidal tract lesion what do you check?
Disorders of the pyramidal tracts are characterized by spasticity and paralysis (e.g., stroke). The pyramidal motor system originating in the motor cortex provides control of delicate muscle movement. Tracts of the pyramidal motor system are the corticospinal tract, cortibulbar tract, coricopontine. It is often difficult to delineate a pyramidal from an extrapyramidal lesion during a clinical assessment.

What are the extra-pyramidal tracts that cross to the opposite site of spinal cord?
Rubrospinal tractTectospinal tractLateral reticulospinal tract
What is the type of neurons that are present in the internal pyramidal layer of neocortex?
The "internal pyramidal layer" is the 5th layer of neocortex. You can find lots of large pyramidal neurons at this layer and they project their axons to subcortical structure.You can also find the "giant pyramidal cells of Betz" at this 5th layer of the motor areas. They are very large and they send their axons to corticospinal tract.
What is the origin of corticospinal tract?
It arises as the axons of the giant pyramidal cells of Betz mainly from the upper 2/3of the motor area 4 in the precentral gyrus.
What are the subdivisions of pyramidal tracts?
Vestibulspinal tract (majority of its fibres are uncrossed)Olivospinal tractMedial Reticulospinal tract*mnemonic to memorize: V-O-MER
What are the organs affected by Shigellosis?
The organ that is most affected by gastroenteritis is the stomach. The small intestine and the colon are also effected but not as bad as the stomach. But any part of the GI tract can be effected, and isolated biiary tract involvement has also been reported.
