From speech to breathing to overt movement contractions of muscles
are the only way other than sweating whereby we literally make a
mark on the world. Locomotion is an essential part of this equation
and exciting new developments are shedding light on the mechanisms
underlying how this important behavior occurs. The Neural Control
of Movement discusses these developments across a variety of
species including man. The editors focus on highlighting the
utility of different models from invertebrates to vertebrates. Each
chapter discusses how new approaches in neuroscience are being used
to dissect and control neural networks. An area of emphasis is on
vertebrate motor networks and particularly the spinal cord. The
spinal cord is unique because it has seen the use of genetic tools
allowing the dissection of networks for over ten years. This book
provides practical details on model systems, approaches, and
analysis approaches related to movement control. This book is
written for neuroscientists interested in movement control.
