| Summary |
"As one of the first cortical areas to be explored experimentally, the motor cortex continues to be the focus of intense research. Motor Cortex in Voluntary Movements: A Distributed System for Distributed Functions presents the most current developments in motor cortex research, making it possible to understand and interpret neural activity and use it to reconstruct movements." "Featuring new perspectives based on contemporary monkey and human studies, the book focuses on how neuronal activity changes during learning, discusses what the motor cortex encodes for, and covers the neuronal representations of voluntary movements and the mechanism of their generation during learning."--Jacket |
