Focusing on research of the structure and function of the three major pathways which link sensory to motor areas of the cerebral cortex, this book summarizes much of the recent knowledge and should provide a forum for further study. Coverage includes: a comprehensive account of current research on sensory guidance of movement; a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together neurophysiologists, psychophysicists and clinical neurologists; and an international perspective, with contributions from throughout Europe and North America.

Visual determinants of grasping movements; vision for perception and vision for action in the primate brain; sensory input and control of grip; motor areas on the medial wall of the hemisphere; grasping objects and grasping action meanings - the dual role of monkey rostroventral premotor cortex (area 5); posterior parietal cortex and the sensory guidance of movement; how does visual information instruct the motor system; cortical mechanisms in directed reaching; cortical control of whole-arm motor tasks; the importance of the cortico-motoneural system for cortical control of grasp; role of the cerebellum in co-ordinating movements; construction of a reach-to-grasp; cerebellum and the visual guidance of movement; the cerebellum and predictive control; internal models for motor control; basic science and disorders of movement.
