Contents:
1. General methodology -- 2. Monosynaptic Ia excitation and post-activation depression -- 3. Muscle spindles and fusimotor drive : microneurography and other techniques -- 4. Recurrent inhibition -- 5. Reciprocal Ia inhibition -- 6. Ib pathways -- 7. Group II pathways -- 8. Presynaptic inhibition of Ia terminals -- 9. Cutaneomuscular, withdrawal and flexor reflex afferent responses -- 10. Propriospinal relay for descending motor commands -- 11. Involvement of spinal pathways in different motor tasks -- 12. The pathophysiology of spasticity and Parkinsonian rigidity.
Review: "This comprehensive reference surveys the literature related to the control of spinal cord circuits in human subjects, showing how they can be studied, their role in normal movement and how they malfunction in disease states." "The authors each bring to the book a lifetime's research and practice in experimental neuroscience, clinical neurology and rehabilitation. Chapters are illustrated and organised, reviewing, for each pathway, the experimental background, methodology, organisation and control, role during motor tasks and changes in patients with CNS lesions. Each chapter concludes with a resume that can be used independently of the main text to provide practical guidance for clinical studies." "This will be essential reading for research workers and clinicians involved in the study, treatment and rehabilitation of movement disorders."--BOOK JACKET.
