Human Gene Set: HP_UPPER_MOTOR_NEURON_DYSFUNCTION


Standard name HP_UPPER_MOTOR_NEURON_DYSFUNCTION
Systematic name M35859
Brief description Upper motor neuron dysfunction
Full description or abstract A functional anomaly of the upper motor neuron. The upper motor neurons are neurons of the primary motor cortex which project to the brainstem and spinal chord via the corticonuclear, corticobulbar and corticospinal (pyramidal) tracts. They are involved in control of voluntary movements. Dysfunction leads to weakness, impairment of fine motor movements, spasticity, hyperreflexia and abnormal pyramidal signs.
