Produktbeschreibung

Motor control allows an organism to initiate and carry-out a diverse array of movements from large strides to the raising of an eyebrow. Understanding motor control is of interest in both basic and applied science. The scientific and computational advances of recent decades have revolutionized study in the field. Neurobiology of Motor Control: Fundamental Concepts and New Directions provides an overview of our current knowledge in the field and anticipates future directions in research.

Neurobiology of Motor Control: Fundamental Concepts and New Directions opens with chapters that provide valuable foundational coverage on current molecular biological techniques, neuronal ensemble recording and computer simulation technologies used in research. Subsequent chapters are topic driven and look at our current understanding of a broad range of topics being investigated. Topic range from the evolution of motor systems, directed targeted movements, to robotics and smart prosthetics.

With wide basic and applied appeal, Neurobiology of Motor Control: Fundamental Concepts and New Directions, will be an essential resource for anyone interested in the neurobiological basis of movement.
