Häftad, 1995
1979 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This is an authoritative and comprehensive account of the regions of the brain which control the performance of skilled voluntary movements, especially the accurate and precise control of the use of the fingers and the hand by monkeys and humans. The significance of recent and clinical observations …
Plasticity in Nerve Cell Function
Inbunden, 1998
2072 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book summarizes the most recent data on the molecular and cellular mechanisms which determine the unique properties of nerve cells - their ability to differentiate, establish connections to each other, and to form the nervous system with its immense capability for receiving, analysing, and …
The Motoneurone and its Muscle Fibres
Inbunden, 2006
2705 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The Motoneurone and its Muscle Fibres presents a state-of-the-art summary of knowledge concerning the motoneurones, vital for innervating and commanding skeletal muscles. No muscle action would be possible without motoneurones. These cells are therefore absolutely essential for the execution of …

Inbunden, 1997
3496 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The book describes how changes in respiration can affect the heart and circulation, with particular reference to the control of the two systems by small organs, known as chemoreceptors, which are situated in the neck and chest. These are stimulated when the body is partly deprived of an oxygen …

Thalamocortical Assemblies
Sleep spindles, slow waves and epileptic discharges
Av Alain Destexhe, Terrence Sejknowski
Häftad, 2023
1402 kr
Lägg i varukorg
During sleep, the mammalian brain generates an orderly progression of low frequency oscillations as the brain moves from sleep onset into deep sleep. This book explores the underlying neural mechanisms involved in generating these oscillations through interacting neural assemblies in the thalamus …
The Stress of Hot Environments
Häftad, 2011
804 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Air temperature alone is not an adequate indication of environmental warmth. Wind, sunshine and humidity are also important. The notion that all these factors might be combined into a single figure indicating warmth is attractive. In this 1972 monograph, the problem of constructing such an index of …
