Control of Human Voluntary Movement de john rothwell

Control of Human Voluntary Movement

Autor john rothwell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 1993
This comprehensive textbook illustrates the excitement and the difficulties of working at the interface between pure and applied research. Written with the student firmly in mind, the text provides a concise account of the basic anatomy and function of the parts of the CNS involved in controlling body movement. Clinical information is integrated throughout and, wherever possible, details of relevant experiments given.

Recenzii

`Control of human voluntary movement is a difficult and even at times obscure subject ... or so I thought before I got round to reading John Rothwell's excellent pocket-sized textbook on the subject. ... The subject matter could too easily lapse into introspection, but Rothwell maintains the reader's interest by including excellent diagrams and illustrations and a fair amount of pathophysiology.'

`The author provides a comprehensive, unbiased review of current experimental evidence and theories.'
