This volume focuses on sensory aspects of both the motor and nonmotor functions of the basal ganglia. The individual contributions range from neuroanatomical studies in experimental animals to cognitive functioning in humans. Section 1 deals with the transformation that afferent information undergoes at the striatal level, and with the way in which the integration of sensory and motor signals is achieved within this structure. In Section 2 the authors lend some heuristic strength to the term "sensorimotor integration," and also point out the problems with such a catch-all term. The result is a more meaningful theoretical framework for describing the functions of the basal ganglia. Section 3 deals primarily with the implications of this neural system in cognitive processes.

<i>The Doctor's Always In</i> is a comprehensive guide to medical information on the Internet that is uniquely oriented to the needs of consumers rather than medical professionals. There are 25 easy to read chapters that are organized according to body system and specific disease categories. Each entry contains a site address, a layperson's description of the information at that site and, if available, the e-mail address of a contact person at that site. In addition there are several introductory chapters that explain in non-technical language how the Internet and World Wide Web work and how to troubleshoot common problems encountered while searching for information.
