A comprehensive book that reviews advances in ocular motor research on topics of general interest, rare, specialized or unique conditions, and pertinent basic neuroscience. A rare collection with contributions from basic neuroscientists, neurologists, and ophthalmologists. Includes dedicated chapters on mathematical models, pharmacotherapy, neuromodulation, motion perception, visual influence on eye movement, physiology of strabismus, and microsaccades. This book is dedicated to David Robinson - one of the pioneers of contemporary ocular motor and vestibular neuroscience.

A recently proposed novel scheme of dystonia suggests that it is a disorder of neural network.  Impairment in any of the “nodes� of the network may result in deficient network activity, causing dystonia.  This book aims to present various experimental evidence supporting the network theory of dystonia.  Dystonia is the abnormal twisting and turning of the organ and associated involuntary oscillations.  Although dystonia is less common than Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, or stroke, each of these common disorders present with dystonia.  Information regarding the brain regions that may be involved in dystonia is surprisingly limited and often conflicting.    With chapters written by subject matter experts, this is a unique title that focuses on dystonia as a network disorder.  This book would be of interest to basic and clinical researchers with an interest in motor systems and movement disorders.
