Multi-unit recordings, molecular neurogenetics, computer simulation, and new scientific approaches for studying how muscles and body anatomy transform motor neuron activity into movement have helped revolutionize the field. \u003ci\u003eNeurobiology of Motor Control\u003c\/i\u003e brings together contributions from an interdisciplinary group of experts to provide a review of the current state of knowledge about the initiation and execution of movement, as well as the latest methods and tools for investigating them.   \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book ranges from the findings of basic scientists studying model organisms such as mollusks and \u003ci\u003eDrosophila\u003c\/i\u003e, to biomedical researchers investigating vertebrate motor production to neuroengineers working to develop robotic and smart prostheses technologies. Following foundational chapters on current molecular biological techniques, neuronal ensemble recording, and computer simulation, it explores a broad range of related topics, including the evolution of motor systems, directed targeted movements, plasticity and learning, and robotics.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores motor control and movement in a wide variety of organisms, from simple invertebrates to human beings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers concise summaries of motor control systems across a variety of animals and movement types\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores an array of tools and methodologies, including electrophysiological techniques, neurogenic and molecular techniques, large ensemble recordings, and computational methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiders unresolved questions and how current scientific advances may be used to solve them going forward\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten specifically to encourage interdisciplinary understanding and collaboration, and offering the most wide-ranging, timely, and comprehensive look at the science of motor control and movement currently available, \u003ci\u003eNeurobiology of Motor Control\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for all who study movement production and the neurobiological basis of movement—from molecular biologists to roboticists. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130516095216,"sku":"9781118873625","price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118873625_p0.jpg?v=1763695763","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118873625","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
