Cortical neuromagnetic fields preceding voluntary jaw movements.
Slow cortical potentials (readiness potentials, RPs) reflecting the central programming of voluntary jaw movements were reported to appear preceding the movements. However, the current source producing the RP has not yet been localized. This study aimed to determine the cortical regions involved in the central programming of bilaterally symmetrical voluntary jaw movements, by locating the curre...
متن کاملThe role of the human lateral pterygoid muscle in the control of horizontal jaw movements.
There is a limited understanding of the normal function of the lateral pterygoid muscle (LP) and the role that this muscle plays in temporomandibular disorders. This article addresses the hypothesis that a major function of the LP is in the control of horizontal jaw movements. The range of fiber alignments suited to generating a major horizontal force vector (magnitude and direction), together ...
متن کاملBehavior of jaw muscle spindle afferents during cortically induced rhythmic jaw movements in the anesthetized rabbit.
The regulation by muscle spindles of jaw-closing muscle activity during mastication was evaluated in anesthetized rabbits. Simultaneous records were made of the discharges of muscle spindle units in the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus, masseter and digastric muscle activity (electromyogram [EMG]), and jaw-movement parameters during cortically induced rhythmic jaw movements. One of three test s...
متن کاملPutative feed-forward control of jaw-closing muscle activity during rhythmic jaw movements in the anesthetized rabbit.
When a thin plastic test strip of various hardness is placed between the upper and lower teeth during rhythmical jaw movements induced by electrical stimulation of the cortical masticatory area (CMA) in anesthetized rabbits, electromyographic (EMG) activity of the masseter muscle is facilitated in a hardness-dependent manner. This facilitatory masseteric response (FMR) often occurred prior to c...
متن کاملVoluntary control of human jaw stiffness.
Recent studies of human arm movement have suggested that the control of stiffness may be important both for maintaining stability and for achieving differences in movement accuracy. In the present study, we have examined the voluntary control of postural stiffness in 3D in the human jaw. The goal is to address the possible role of stiffness control in both stabilizing the jaw and in achieving t...
