Opis

Neuronal Control of Locomotion: From Mollusc to Man describes how the brains in very diverse and evolutionarily removed species control the animal's locomotion. In doing so, the authors reveal unifying principl es of brain function, making it essential reading for students and res earchers in neurobiology generally, and motor control in particular.

Recenzje

The triumvirate of Orlovsky, Deliagina and Grillner is uniquely placed to produce a unified account of the neural basis of locomotion across the whole animal kingdom...this is an excellent book for those seeking wide background knowledge of neural mechanisms underlying movement. Those already in the field will also find it valuable.
