sensory tracts run in the right half and motor tracts run in the left half

True or false

TRUE?

False. In the human body, the sensory tracts primarily run in the left half of the spinal cord and the motor tracts primarily run in the right half of the spinal cord. This pattern is due to the crossing over of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord called decussation. Specifically, the left half of the brain controls the right side of the body, and vice versa. So, damage to the right half of the spinal cord would affect motor function on the left side of the body, while damage to the left half of the spinal cord would affect sensory function on the right side of the body.
