Brain Mechanisms for the Integration of Posture and Movement

Second author, Douglas G. Stuart, is with the Univ. of Arizona, Tucson. Describes the current state of knowledge on the role of parallel and distributed neuronal systems in the integration of posture and movement. Discusses the brainstem-spinal cord interactions, early appearing movements, and later-developed skilled movements.

"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."
