Surveys the control of human spinal cord circuits, in normal movement and in disease states.
Surveys the control of human spinal cord circuits, in normal movement and in disease states.
A comprehensive review of the corticospinal and spinal contributions to the control of movement in human subjects.
The significance of the work is the demonstration that simple rhythmic behaviors can be produced by networks involving interneurons outside the spinal pattern generators.
People in industry will also benefit from this book, which compiles the latest in therapeutic strategies for targeting spinal interneurons, what considerations there are for the development and use of treatments, and how such treatments can ...
1978 ; Brosamle and Schwab , 1997 ) , not only the giant Betz cells but also smaller pyramidal cells ( Groos et al . , 1978 ; Murray and Coulter , 1981 ) . In man , the lateral corticospinal tract contains about 1 million fibers on each ...
This book addresses this need by providing both a comprehensive reference on the mammalian spinal cord and a comparative atlas of both rat and mouse spinal cords in one convenient source.
In this work, the authors integrate three major basic themes of neuroscience to serve as an introduction and review of the subject.

A feature of the book is the inclusion of segment-by-segment atlases of the spinal cords of rat, mouse, newborn mouse, marmoset, rhesus monkey, and human. This book is an essential reference for researchers studying the spinal cord.
Based on the results of such assessment, treatment strategies, also described in this book, are applied to augment, rather than replace, the performance of surviving neural circuitry and improve the functional capacity of people who have ...
