After reading the manuscript, some biologists inquired why, on the
basis of the broad experimental material presented in this book, we
had not come up with a model describing the operation of the
cerebellum. To answer this question, we decided to write a preface
to our book. How the nervous system copes with the complexity of
the world is one of the central problems of neurophys iology. The
question was clearly formulated for the frrst time by N. A.
Bernstein. Considering the problem of motor control, he pointed out
that the main objective of motor coordination is to overcome the
redundant number of degrees of freedom of the motor apparatus or,
in other words, to diminish the number of independent variables
which control the movement (Bernstein 1967). These I. M. Gelfand
and M. L. Zetlin ideas were further developed by (Gelfand and
Zetlin 1966). They proposed, in particular, the
"non-individualized" ("non-addressed") mode of control in complex
systems, where only the highest levels of the system have the full
notion about the fmal task while the main "effectors" act on the
basis of very limited information. These propositions were made by
Gelfand and Zetlin in a very general form, but, nevertheless,
proved to be fruitful in determining the direction of experimental
research. For instance, the discovery of the "locomotory region" of
the brain stem (Shik et al."
