In the last decade, we have witnessed a striking maturation of our
understanding of how neurons in the spinal cord control muscular
activity and movement. Paradoxically, a host of new findings have
revealed an unexpected versatility in the behavior of these
well-studied neural elements and circuits. In this volume, the
world's leading experts review the current state of our knowledge
of motor control, outline their latest results and developments,
and delineate the seminal unresolved questions in this vibrant
field of research. The volume begins with a commentary and overview
of our current understanding of the peripheral and spinal basis of
motor control. The remainder of the volume is divided into seven
sections, each focused on a different problem. The first chapter in
each section provides some historical review and presages the
experimental findings and hypotheses that are discussed in
subsequent chapters.
Topics include the biomechanics of neuromuscular systems, the
properties of motoneurons and the muscle units they control, spinal
interneurons, pattern generating circuits, locomotion, descending
control of spinal circuits, comparative physiology of motor
systems, and motor systems neurophysiology studied in man. The book
serves as a unique reference volume and should be essential reading
for anyone interested in motor systems. Moreover, the volume's
comprehensive coverage of a wide range of topics make it an
effective textbook for graduate level courses in motor control
neurobiology, kinesiology, physical therapy, and rehabilitation
medicine.
