Sets tone (overall activity level) of postural muscles and also interacts with midline motor neurons
Processes where the body is in space. Lower motor neurones near the spinal cord midline

Issues with setting posture, initiating movement and controlling movement. Show intention tremors
Paralysis, muscle wasting, spontaneous contractions (fasciculation) and no reflexes
Can only activate few striate muscle fibres. Characteristic weakness in general postureCan only activate few striate muscle fibres. Characteristic weakness in general posture
Issues with muscle tone, muscles contracted maj of time. Cant maintain posture. Cant inhibit spontaneous movementaIssues with muscle tone, muscles contracted maj of time. Cant maintain posture. Cant inhibit spontaneous movement
