Hi Marco, try the books by Susan Greenfield, she's written several on the central nervous system and is more interested in description than in proving how much jargon she can spell. There's also "Motor Control: theory and Practical Applications" by Anne Shumway-Cook & M.H.Woollacott - it's about re-programming the brain to bypass damaged areas - a bit heavy going as it's meant for professionals but has interesting ideas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
