Clinical Aspects of Sensory Motor Integration

This book provides a broad spectrum of aspects concerning the integration of the sensory motor and motor system in man and their disturbances in neurologic patients. Neurophysiologic, neuroanatomical and neurochemical viewpoints are considered. The contributions are organized according to the following subject areas: somatosensory activity, central motor actions of sensory input, the muscles and their neural control, convergence on the final common path, long-loop reflexes, motor functions of basal ganglia, thalamocortical contributions to sensory motor integration, posture and movements, and degeneration and regeneration. The reader will find the book a valuable source of up-to-date information, comprehensive reviews, and new results in the various areas described above.
