In the past, chewing experiments with simulated food resistance have shown that jaw
muscle responses to overcome the resisting load are mainly of sensory origin and only …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repeated oral and maxillofacial region
movement to stomatognathic and central nervous system. Study 1 investigated the analysis …

Both the amount of force applied and the duration of the application affect tooth movement.
To study the effect of duration, adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were fitted with orthodontic …

Static mechanical analyses of the masticatory apparatus often assume that jaw muscle
activity, as measured using electromyography (EMG), is linearly and constantly related to …

Clinical evidence suggests that head movements may be coupled with oro-facial functions,
which are predominantly controlled by somatosensory inputs from the oro-facial area …

In order to control oral motor behavior, such as biting and chewing, we rely on information
provided by a variety of sense organs, including periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs). The …

岨輯運動は食物の性状に応じて調節され, 硬い食物を阻関するときには閉口筋活動が増大すること
が知られている. 麻酔したウサギの大脳皮質を刺激して誘発されるリズミカルな顎運動中に …

Objectives Appropriate sensory information from periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMR s) is
important for optimizing the positioning of food and adjustment of force vectors during …

Seven adult female rats fasted 24 h. Under pentobarbital duodenal movements were
observed for three consecutive five minute periods: baseline, procedure, and postprocedure …

We have investigated how biting modulates some of the physiological changes (blood
pressure, core temperature, and chemical mediators in the serum) that are induced by …
