Median Motor Column


SpC.MMC
The median motor column contains a set of motor neurons arranged in longitudinal arrays, which then project to distinct regions in the periphery. The MMC can be divided into a medial group, which is found at all rostrocaudal levels and projects to dorsal axial muscles, and a lateral group, found only at thoracic levels and projects to body wall muscles.
