Author Description

This book contains twenty-two chapters which are based on talks given at a conference held at Magdalen College, Oxford in April 1986. The par ticipants in the conference came from a number of countries and repre sented several disciplines. They share a common interest in the structure of the cerebellum and its role in the control of movement and motor learning. The chapters in the book reflect that interest, and put forward in a succinct and clear way some of the major new ide~s on the role of the cerebellum in movement and motor learning. M. Glickstein C.
