Description
This volume of Progress in Brain Research is dedicated to the scientific mentors of Shigemi Mori: Bunichi Fujimori (1910-86),
John Brookhart (1913-85), and Victor Gurfinkel (1922-present).
It describes the current state of knowledge on the role of parallel
and distributed neuronal systems in the integration of posture and movement. The charge to the authors of the various chapters was twofold:
to provide a conceptual overview of the topic that could serve as a balanced reference text for the next generation of movement neuroscientists;
and, to stimulate further experimental and theoretical work in the field.
Key issues are addressed in ten interrelated sections:
perspectives on the overall issues; three aspects of brainstem-spinal cord interactions (developmental and comparative; motoneuron properties,
pattern generation, and sensory feedback; adaptive mechanisms); biomechanical and imaging approaches; descending command issues; supraspinal
sensorimotor interactions; cerebellar interactions and control mechanisms; eye-head-neck coordination; and, higher control from the basal
ganglia, sensorimotor cortex, and frontal lobe. Relevant chapters are cross-referenced, but no attempt has been made to adjudicate current
disparities between the authors' results and their interpretations. These differences bring out the lively state of current work in
the aspects of movement neuroscience addressed in this volume.

I. Perspectives.
1. Innate versus learned movements - a false dichotomy?
(S. Grillner, P. Wallén). 2. Why and how are posture and movement coordinated? (J. Massion, A. Alexandrov, A. Frolov). 3. Motor
coordination can be fully understood only be studying complex movements (P.J. Cordo, V.S. Gurfinkel). 4. The emotional brain: neural
correlates of cat sexual behavior and human male ejaculation (G. Holstege, J.R. Georgiadis).
II. Spinal cord and brainstem: development
and comparative issues.
5. Developmental changes in rhythmic spinal neuronal activity in the rat fetus (N. Kudo, H. Nishimaru,
K. Nakayama). 6. The maturation of locomotor networks (F. Clarac, F. Brocard, L. Vinay). 7. Reflections on respiratory rhythm generation
(K. Ezure).
III. Spinal cord and brainstem: motoneurons, pattern generation and sensory feedback.
8. Key mechanisms
for setting the input-output gain across the motoneuron pool
(H. Hultborn, R.B. Brownstone et al.). 9. Rhythm generation for
food-ingestive movements (Y. Nakamura, N. Katakura et al.). 10. Do respiratory neurons control female receptive behavior: a
suggested role for a medullary central pattern generator? (P.A. Kirkwood, T.W. Ford). 11. The central pattern generator for forelimb
locomotion in the cat (T. Yamaguchi). 12. Generating the walking gait: role of sensory feedback (K.G. Pearson).
IV. Spinal cord
and brainstem: adaptive mechanisms.
13. Cellular transplants: steps toward restoration of function in spinal injured animals
(M. Murray). 14. Neurotrophic effects on dorsal root regeneration into the spinal cord (A. Tessler). 15. Effects of an embryonic repair
graft on recovery from spinal cord injury (S. Kawaguchi, T. Iseda, T. Nishio). 16. Determinants of locomotor recovery after spinal injury
in the cat (S. Rossignol, L. Bouyer et al.).
