Corticospinal Function and Voluntary Movement

Abstract
This book presents a comprehensive account of the regions of the brain that 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 concerning the details of the cortico-cortical connections that contribute to the determination of these functions is discussed.
Keywords: brain, skilled voluntary movements, fingers, hand, monkeys, humans, cortico-cortical connections, brain regions, accurate control, precise control
