"A superb and insightful description of the area of motor control.

"Anyone with an interest in the field will find a place for this book on the desk, in the laboratory and at the bedside....All will find stimulation to new ideas and experiments."--C.D. Marsden, Maudsley Institute of Psychiatry. "A highly enlightening overview." --Shirley A. Sahrmann, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis The first systematic text on motor neurophysiology, this authoritative study is arranged by behavioural categories such as standing, walking, intended movements, automatic responses, attention and learning, and motivation. The author shows how the nervous system processes information, how the brain learns from previous experience, and how behavioural intent is fitted to material conditions. Written by a well-known authority and integrating anatomical and physiological information, this book will be an effective text for physical/occupational therapy students and neuroscience students, and represents an important reference for neuroscientists and physiologists.
