Neurophysiological Basis of Motor Control by Mark L Latash

Neurophysiological Basis of Motor Control, Third Edition, emphasizes the neurophysiological mechanisms relevant to the processes of generating voluntary movements, helping students better understand how the brain generates control signals and how the body executes them.
Mark L. Latash, PhD, is a distinguished professor of kinesiology and the director of the Motor Control Laboratory at Penn State University. His research interests are the control and coordination of human voluntary movements, movement disorders in neurological patients, and effects of rehabilitation.
