We studied corticofugal projections to the motoneurons with Nauta-Gygax's technique in a patient with cerebral infarction of both hemispheres. Motoneurons in the brainstem motor nuclei and spinal anterior horns seen to receive direct cortical projections, except for the oculomotor and abducens nuceli and Onuf's nucleus in the sacral cord.
