人类脊髓回路对各种运动背后的神经生理学进行了深入分析。本教科书从一般方法论开始，为以后的章节奠定了基础。从那里，作者快速深入研究了各种活动的突触反应和肌纤维运动，并详细阐述了这与帕金森病等运动障碍的关系。在整本书中，每一章都强调了该领域相关动物实验的主要发现，以便在继续深入探索几种不同的运动途径之前提供足够的背景知识。每个部分的结尾都将正常运动的回路与患有各种疾病的人类的回路进行比较，然后是详尽的总结和参考文献列表来总结每一章。
总体而言，本书文字较多，全文中提供的 127 张图仅分析了所描述的反射和运动运动的物理电路。尽管这是对文本的必要补充，但读者可能会发现材料很晦涩。包含总体主题并确保读者牢记大局的额外插图将有利于未来的版本。这本教科书非常适合那些高度专业于神经生理学的人，不适合新手读者，但可能对参与运动障碍研究和治疗的研究人员和临床医生有益。
The Circuitry of the Human Spinal Cord serves as an in-depth analysis of the neurophysiology behind various movements. This textbook begins with general methodology, which lays the groundwork for future chapters. From there, the authors quickly delve into the synaptic responses and muscle fiber movements for a wide range of activities and elaborate on how this is relevant for motor disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Throughout the book, each chapter highlights key findings from relevant animal experiments in the field to provide adequate background before moving on to thoroughly explore several different motor pathways. Each section ends by comparing the circuitry in normal movement with that of humans afflicted by various diseases, followed by an extensive summary and list of references to wrap up each chapter.
Overall, this book is text heavy, and the 127 figures provided throughout the text solely analyze physical circuitry of reflexes and the motor movements described. Although this is a necessary complement to the text, the reader is likely to find the material dense. Additional illustrations to incorporate the overarching themes and ensure that the reader keeps the big picture in mind would be beneficial for future editions. Ideal for those highly specialized in neurophysiology, this textbook is not intended for novice readers but is likely beneficial for researchers and clinicians involved in the study and treatment of movement disorders.
