This special section, Developmental Biodynamics: Brain, Body, Behavior Connections, celebrates a renewed and revitalized interest in the study of motor development. The renewed interest has been sparked by advances in the neurosciences, biomechanics, and behavioral sciences and, importantly, in the attempts to integrate theories and findings across these disciplines. In this introduction to the special section, we consider the contributions that have led to a reinvigorated field of motor development and to its new interdisciplinary look. We highlight the papers in the special section by discussing how they illustrate related advances across research in the neurosciences, biomechanics, and behavioral sciences and how progress across these domains has come to define and characterize the emerging field of developmental biodynamics.
这个名为“发育生物动力学:脑、身体、行为的联系”的特别版块,体现了人们对运动发育研究重新燃起并振兴起来的兴趣。这种重新燃起的兴趣是由神经科学、生物力学和行为科学的进展所引发的,重要的是,也是由跨这些学科整合理论和研究结果的尝试所引发的。在这个特别版块的引言中,我们探讨了那些为运动发育领域注入新活力并赋予其新的跨学科面貌的贡献。我们通过讨论这些论文如何阐释神经科学、生物力学和行为科学研究中的相关进展,以及这些领域的进展如何界定和刻画新兴的发育生物动力学领域,来突出特别版块中的论文。
