Definitions:

Corticospinal

Pertaining to the motor pathways that travel from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord, involved in voluntary movement control.

Direct Motor Pathways

Neural paths descending from the brain to the spinal cord responsible for the voluntary movement of muscles.

Sensory Adaptation

The process by which sensory receptors become less sensitive to constant stimuli over time, allowing organisms to focus on changes in their environment.

Primary Receptors

Sensory structures that respond to environmental stimuli by initiating a sensory signal.
