The reticulospinal tract (or anterior reticulospinal tract) is an extrapyramidal subconscious motor tract which descends from the reticular formation in two tracts to act on the motor neurons supplying the trunk and proximal limb muscles. It is mainly involved in locomotion and postural control although it does have other effects as well.
