Neurophysiological Basis of Motor Control

Beschreibung

Thoroughly revised and reorganized, this work examines the neurophysiological basis of voluntary movement by illuminating motor learning, sensorimotor integration, and the roles of diverse sensory systems. It also explores neuroanatomy, coordination, aging, and motor disorders through detailed visuals and thought-provoking challenges.
