The human nervous system-that most complex organization of energy
and matter-has yielded a few glimmers of understanding of its
operational me chanics during the last two decades. These have
mostly been at the biochemical level of structure and function.
Throughout history, as one of the mysteries of nature begins to
yield some insights into its function, it has been beneficial to
look at it from different points of view. We have developed a
volume on movement disorders that is primarily directed toward the
biochemical understanding of these disorders and their treatment.
Each disorder is presented from several points of view. Although
this approach leads to some repetition, it is our aim that the
final outcome be a more complete understanding. Much has been
written about movement: the beauty of the prima ballerina, the
strength of the olympic athlete, and the agility of the surgeon.
Seldom do we stop to look beneath the surface-the coordination of
muscle groups, the finely tuned balance allowing rapid response in
either direction, the individual muscle fibers coordinated to
maximize strength and agility, and the nerve fibers connecting
muscle with nerve centers. Some of these communicate sensory input
of position to the centers while others communicate directions of
move ment to muscles. We encourage our readers to be constantly
alert to the possibility of in creasing their understanding of
other nervous system functions, including thought disorder, through
an understanding of movement, either in general principle or by
specific chemical interaction."
