The Neural Basis of Motor Control
"A superb and insightful description of the area of motor control. The most modern approaches to understanding motor information are clearly described."--Emilio Bizzi, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Anyone with an interest in the field will find a place for this book on the desk, in the laboratory and at the bedside....All will find stimulation to new ideas and experiments."--C.D. Marsden, Maudsley Institute of Psychiatry. "A highly enlightening overview." --Shirley A. Sahrmann, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis The first systematic text on motor neurophysiology, this authoritative study is arranged by behavioural categories such as standing, walking, intended move...

Death to Beauty
In the 1970s, Dr. Alan Scott sought to selectively weaken eye muscles to treat strabismus (when one or both eyes are misaligned) without surgery. After failed attempts with other agents, Scott developed a method to stabilize the bacteria that causes botulism, culminating in a drug that eventually became known as Botox. In Death to Beauty, Eugene M. Helveston, MD, follows the unlikely story of botulism's 1817 discovery in contaminated German sausages, to its use in military and research facilities, to Scott, an ophthalmologist who aimed to safely use the drug in humans. Scott struggled alone as an unknown in the pharmaceutical industry, searching for clinical trial financing and FDA approval,...
Studies in Physiology
This collection of papers is presented to Sir JOHN ECCLES by his former and present collaborators to commemorate the award of the 1963 Nobel Prize in Medicine, which was shared with A. L. HODGKIN and A. F. HUXLEY. Sir JOHN'S interest in, and influence on, the study of physiology, particularly that of the nervous system, is reflected by the range of topics discussed, and by the distri bution of the various authors in laboratories throughout the world. Those who have been privileged to work with him in Oxford, Sydney, Dunedin or Canberra have enjoyed a good discipline in scientific thought, as well as in the use of neurophysiological techniques. Basic knowledge is always transferable, and the ...
The History of Neuroscience in Autobiography Volume 6
The sixth volume of The History of Neuroscience in Autobiography is a collection of autobiographical essays by notable senior scientists who discuss the major events that shaped their discoveries and their influences, as well as the people who inspired them and helped shape their careers as neuroscientists. Each entry also includes a complete CV so that the interested reader may see their rise through the ranks as they achieved some of the highest honors in neuroscience.
Robots and Biological Systems: Towards a New Bionics?
Bionics evolved in the 1960s as a framework to pursue the development of artificial systems based on the study of biological systems. Numerous disciplines and technologies, including artificial intelligence and learningdevices, information processing, systems architecture and control, perception, sensory mechanisms, and bioenergetics, contributed to bionics research. This volume is based on a NATO Advanced Research Workshop within the Special Programme on Sensory Systems for Robotic Control, held in Il Ciocco, Italy, in June 1989. A consensus emerged at the workshop, and is reflected in the book, on the value of learning from nature in order to derive guidelines for the design of intelligent machines which operate in unstructured environments. The papers in the book are grouped into seven chapters: vision and dynamic systems, hands and tactile perception, locomotion, intelligent motor control, design technologies, interfacing robots to nervous systems, and robot societies and self-organization.
The History of Neuroscience in Autobiography
The seventh volume of The History of Neuroscience in Autobiography is a collection of autobiographical essays by distinguished senior neuroscientists in which they recount the events that shaped their lives and identify the mentors and colleagues who inspired them. The narratives provides a human dimension to the world of scientific research.
