Opis

This book presents a state-of-the-art summary of knowledge concerning the motoneurones, vital for innervating and commanding skeletal muscles. It summarizes both classical and recent knowledge concerning the motoneurone. This is the first time that so many aspects of this broad subject have been treated in one comprehensive monograph.

O autorze

Daniel Kernell grew up in Stockholm and studied medicine at the Karolinska Institutet. From 1961-1972 he was associated with the Nobel Institute for Neurophysiology (Karolinska Institutet). After being awarded his PhD in 1965, he spent his postdoctoral period in Oxford (UK) 1966-1967. He moved to the Netherlands in 1972, where he worked as a professor of Neurophysiology at the University of Amsterdam and, later, as a professor of Medical Physiology at the University of Groningen. Most of his research work has concerned the neuromuscular system (motoneurones and muscles), and his results have been published in many articles in international scientific journals and presented at international symposia and congresses.
