fine motor control of hands...? possible error
The first section states "fine control of the fingers is not modified by the functioning of the red nucleus (rather it relies on the corticobulbar tract [CoBuTr])."
Cross-checking the article for cortico-bulbar tract gives information about the control of face, head, and neck muscles, while the article for corticospinal tract states that the corticospinal tract is for fine control of fingers/hands.
I'm just a first-year neuroscience grad student, so I didn't want to edit the content myself. I'll leave it up to the experts.

-You're right, that's an error. The Corticobulbar tract, by definition, is made up of upper motor neurons from the cerebral cortex to the brainstem (brainstem used to be called 'the bulb'). Fine movement of fingers falls under the control of the corticospinal tract (the upper motor neuron), and spinal nerves (the lower motor neuron). --Geoffsbg (talk) 15:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
This article is really poor. So much more could be said... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.138.51.119 (talk) 02:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- I like your changes so far. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:34, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Input and Output
This section could be rewritten in order to make it more clear. It may be easier to separate the input portion, referring to them as afferent pathways, from the output portion, referring to them as efferent pathways. The way it is written now, readers who do not know what efferent pathways are may seem confused and may not realize that this is actually the output information.

Red nuclei
The entire article, except for the image on the right, implies that there is one nucleus rather than two nuclei. The title and the article should be edited to reflect "red nuclei". User:Shinju (talk) 07:15, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
