Description

Neural circuits are responsible for coordinating movement and motor control, integrating signals from the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Disorders in these circuits can result in motor dysfunction. This book examines the structure and function of neural circuits involved in voluntary and involuntary movements. It covers key areas like motor cortex pathways, basal ganglia, and cerebellar contributions. Clinical correlations, such as those related to Parkinson’s disease and spinal injuries, provide insights into diagnosis and rehabilitation strategies for motor impairments.

Author(s) Bio

Grace Campbell is a neuroscientist specializing in neural circuits involved in movement and motor control. Her research explores the brain networks that coordinate voluntary and involuntary movements, including the role of the motor cortex and basal ganglia. Grace has published extensively on topics such as motor learning, coordination, and the neural basis of movement disorders. She has edited key texts that detail the anatomy and function of motor neural circuits and their implications for rehabilitation and therapy. Grace’s work contributes to the understanding and treatment of movement disorders, enhancing motor control and rehabilitation strategies.
