Opis

By integrating data derived from many new approaches, you'll learn abo ut how spinal cord circuits operate under a variety conditions and abo ut new and exciting inroads being made in motor neurobiology of the sp inal cord. Motor Neurobiology of the Spinal Cord elucidates concepts a nd principles relevant to function and structure throughout the nervou s system and presents information about changes induced by injury and disease.

Recenzje

"…an update on the recent advances of the biology of the motor spinal cord…The authors clearly meet their objectives…a very good book…well-written…3 stars."
