MODULE 5

SUGGESTED READING

1) Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases by Hal Blumenfeld.

• An introduction to the motor system is given on pages 32-33 and in Figure 2.16.
• The main treatment of the motor systems is in Chapter 6 on pages 220-228. Note particularly Figures 6.7-6.11 and Table 6.3.

2) Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications by Duane E. Haines. Third Edition.

• The control of movement is covered in Chapter 25, starting on page 395. The corticospinal tract is summarized in Figure 25-6 and the corticobulbar pathway in Figure 25-13.
• The role of brainstem structures in controling movement is presented in Chapter 24, starting on page 385. Figure 24-7 and Figure 24-9 summarize some of the pathways.

3) Principles of Neural Science by Eric R. Kandel, James H. Schwartz and Thomas M. Jessel. Chapters 33 - 38 deal with various aspects of motor function. Read them all! (just joking). The sections most relevant to the material in this module are:

• a) Pages 663-672 (note Figs 33-12-15).
• b) Pages 730-735.
• c) Pages 750-753.
• d) Chapter 38 - scan through it - there are many sections that are of interest
