A multi-disciplinary look at the current state of knowledge
regarding motor control and movement from molecular biology to
robotics The last two decades have seen a dramatic increase in the
number of sophisticated tools and methodologies for exploring motor
control and movement. Multi-unit recordings, molecular
neurogenetics, computer simulation, and new scientific approaches
for studying how muscles and body anatomy transform motor neuron
activity into movement have helped revolutionize the field.
Neurobiology of Motor Control brings together contributions from an
interdisciplinary group of experts to provide a review of the
current state of knowledge about the initiation and execution of
movement, as well as the latest methods and tools for investigating
them. The book ranges from the findings of basic scientists
studying model organisms such as mollusks and Drosophila, to
biomedical researchers investigating vertebrate motor production to
neuroengineers working to develop robotic and smart prostheses
technologies. Following foundational chapters on current molecular
biological techniques, neuronal ensemble recording, and computer
simulation, it explores a broad range of related topics, including
the evolution of motor systems, directed targeted movements,
plasticity and learning, and robotics. * Explores motor control and
movement in a wide variety of organisms, from simple invertebrates
to human beings * Offers concise summaries of motor control systems
across a variety of animals and movement types * Explores an array
of tools and methodologies, including electrophysiological
techniques, neurogenic and molecular techniques, large ensemble
recordings, and computational methods * Considers unresolved
questions and how current scientific advances may be used to solve
them going forward Written specifically to encourage
interdisciplinary understanding and collaboration, and offering the
most wide-ranging, timely, and comprehensive look at the science of
motor control and movement currently available, Neurobiology of
Motor Control is a must-read for all who study movement production
and the neurobiological basis of movement from molecular biologists
to roboticists.
