Discusses the brainstem-spinal cord interactions, early appearing movements, and later-developed skilled movements.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This volume continues the excellent tradition of the series Progress in Brain Research in providing a very much needed, high-quality update on the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in the coordination of posture and movement. This is a comprehensive collection of chapters which covers a vast range of neural structures, behaviors, species- probably most important- ideas.” – Motor Control (2005)
