Siegfried Mense l Robert D. Gerwin Editors 2010 Disorders of the musculoskeletal system are the leading causes of disability in western societies. Musculoskeletal pain syndromes can be divided into two broad categories: (1) myalgias, which include the major condition of myofascial pain syndromes, as well as inflammatory and other myosites, and (2) articular disorders, which include all of the […]

Armstrong Editor Lisa Morrow Associate Editor   2010 Applications of Cognitive Neuroscience The burgeoning of molecular and genetic studies of neurological and developmental disorders has contributed to the continuing relevance of neuropsychological studies of medical disorders. Neuropsychologists who follow science have updated and expanded the tools of our field to increase understanding of the functional consequences of […]

Uwe J. Ilg ● Guillaume S. Masson Editors 2010 Neuronal, Behavioral, and Computational Approaches Biological motion is an essential piece of sensory information for living organism and therefore motion processing units, from simple elementary motion detectors to dedicated motion sensitive cortical areas, have been identified over a broad spectrum of animals.
