"Physics of Biological Action and Perception helps researchers interested in exploring biological motor control from a physics or alternative viewpoint perspective. The book introduces the idea of parametric control as a distinguishing feature of living systems. Sections cover how the CNS creates stable percepts based on fuzzy and continuously changing signals from numerous receptors and the variable processes related to ongoing actions. The author also develops the idea of control with referent coordinates to stability of salient variables in fields typically united under the label of "cognition." Examples of this include communication (how the gist of a message is preserved despite variability of phrases), thought processes (how one can solve a mental problem via different logical routes), and playing chess (how one selects an optimal move given a position on the board). The book is written for researchers, instructors, clinicians and other professionals in all the fields related to biological movement and perception."--

Studies of human movement have proliferated in recent years, and there have been many studies of spinal pathways in humans, their role in movement, and their dysfunction in neurological disorders. 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. Chapters are highly illustrated and consistently 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 helpful 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.

Prendo la penna sul tavolo. Il mio sistema motorio si attiva. Osservo il mio bambino compiere lo stesso atto motorio. Nonostante stia solo osservando mio figlio, il mio sistema motorio rientra in gioco. La scoperta che la sola osservazione dell’azione attivi una serie di neuroni nel nostro cervello è stata recentemente dimostrata da un gruppo di neuroscienziati italiani coordinato da Giacomo Rizzolatti. Questo nuovo sapere ha rivoluzionato il modo di concepire il sistema motorio, stimolando la ricerca clinica, promovendo strategie di intervento terapeutico che si fondano sull’osservazione e sull’immaginazione dell’azione, e gettando le basi per migliorare la didattica sportiva. Neuroscienze dell’attività motoria si rivolge a studenti di scienze motorie e a tutti gli operatori nel campo delle discipline motorie, sportive e riabilitative, con la finalità di raccontare il “nuovo sistema motorio” e chiarire come l’attività motoria non sia un semplice movimento governato dai muscoli ma il risultato dell’interazione di più processi neurali.
