any of the important motor nerves on each side of the central nervous system that run from the sensorimotor areas of the cortex through the brainstem to motor neurons of the cranial nerve nuclei and the ventral root of the spinal cord

the posterior division of the forebrain; connects the cerebral hemispheres with the mesencephalon
