Abstract
OBJECTIVE The areas of the amygdala contributing to rhythmic jaw movements and the movement patterns induced remain unknown. Therefore, the present study investigated the areas of the amygdala contributing to rhythmic jaw movements using repetitive electrical microstimulation techniques. DESIGN Experiments were performed on head-restrained guinea pigs under ketamine-xylazine anesthesia. EMG activities in the masseter and digastric muscles and jaw movements were recorded. Short- and long-train electrical microstimulations of the amygdala were performed and the patterns of jaw movements induced were analyzed quantitatively. RESULT The short-train stimulation induced short-latency EMG responses in the masseter and/or digastric muscles. The stimulation sites inducing short-latency EMG responses were distributed within the ventral part of the amygdala, which covered the medial, basal, and cortical nuclei. The long-train stimulation induced tonic jaw opening and two types of rhythmic jaw movements: those with or without lateral jaw shifts, which were characterized by a larger jaw gape and ipsilateral jaw excursion, respectively. Rhythmic jaw movements with lateral jaw shifts were characterized by overlapping masseter and digastric EMG activities. However, rhythmic patterns did not differ between the two types of rhythmic jaw movements. The stimulation sites that induced rhythmic jaw movements were more localized to the cortical nucleus. CONCLUSIONS The present results suggest that the ventral part of the amygdala is involved in the induction of rhythmic jaw movements in guinea pigs. The putative roles of the limbic system in the genesis of functional (e.g., chewing) and non-functional (e.g., bruxism) rhythmic oromotor movements warrant further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sarcopenia has recently been attracting attention as an early sign of the need for nursing care in older adults. Some studies have reported that oral health is related to sarcopenia and its diagnostic factors (hand grip strength, walking speed, and skeletal muscle mass). However, the relationship between oral health and sarcopenia remains poorly investigated and no review to date has compiled the available research on this relationship. The aim of this review was to summarize the current evidence describing the association between oral health and sarcopenia. STUDY SELECTION The internet database PubMed was searched using various combinations of related and synonymous keywords for "oral" or "dental" or "oral health" or "oral function" and "sarcopenia" or "walking speed" or "hand grip strength" or "skeletal muscle mass." A total of 27 studies found to be eligible were critically evaluated and their key findings were summarized. RESULTS Most of the studies were cross-sectional and conducted in Japan. A wide range of oral factors, including number of teeth, occlusal support, periodontal state, occlusal force, mastication, tongue pressure, and swallowing, were covered. The overall findings were that oral health indices could be significantly associated with sarcopenia and its diagnostic factors. CONCLUSIONS Relationships may exist between aspects of oral health and sarcopenia or its diagnostic factors. However, reports showing associations between oral health and sarcopenia are scarce, and definitive conclusions could not be drawn. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to confirm these relationships.

Abstract
Repetitive electrical microstimulation to the cortical masticatory area (CMA) evokes distinct patterns of rhythmical jaw muscle activities (RJMAs) in animals. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of the descending projections from the CMA, associated with distinct patterns of RJMAs, to the thalamus, midbrain, pons and medulla in guinea pigs. RJMAs with continuous masseter and digastric bursts (CB-RJMAs) and stimulus-locked digastric sub-bursts (SLB-RJMAs) were induced from the anterior and posterior areas of the rostral region of the lateral agranular cortex, and chewing-like RJMAs from the rostral region of the granular cortex. Anterograde tracer, biotinylated dextran amine, was injected into the three cortical areas. The cortical area inducing CB-RJMAs had strong ipsilateral projections to the motor thalamus, red nucleus, midbrain reticular formation, superior colliculus, parabrachial nucleus, and supratrigeminal region, and contralateral projections mainly to the lateral reticular formation around the trigeminal motor nucleus (Vmo). The cortical area inducing SLB-RJMAs had moderate projections to the motor thalamus and lateral reticular formation around the Vmo, but few projections to the midbrain nuclei. The cortical area inducing chewing-like RJMAs had strong projections to the ipsilateral sensory thalamus and contralateral trigeminal sensory nuclei, and moderate projections to the lateral reticular formation. The three cortical areas consistently had few projections to the ventromedial reticular formation. The present study demonstrates that multiple direct and indirect descending projections from the CMA onto the premotor systems connecting the trigeminal motoneurons represent the neuroanatomical repertoires for generating RJMAs during the distinct phases of natural ingestive behavior.

Abstract
Histamine receptors are densely expressed in the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus (MesV) and trigeminal motor nucleus. However, little is known about the functional roles of neuronal histamine in controlling oral-motor activity. Thus, using the whole-cell recording technique in brainstem slice preparations from Wistar rats aged between postnatal days 7 and 13, we investigated the effects of histamine on the MesV neurons innervating the masseter muscle spindles and masseter motoneurons (MMNs) that form a reflex arc for the jaw-closing reflex. Bath application of histamine (100 μM) induced membrane depolarization in both MesV neurons and MMNs in the presence of tetrodotoxin, whereas histamine decreased and increased the input resistance in MesV neurons and MMNs, respectively. The effects of histamine on MesV neurons and MMNs were mimicked by an H1 receptor agonist, 2-pyridylethylamine (100 μM). The effects of an H2 receptor agonist, dimaprit (100 μM), on MesV neurons were inconsistent, whereas MMNs were depolarized without changes in the input resistance. An H3 receptor agonist, immethridine (100 μM), also depolarized both MesV neurons and MMNs without changing the input resistance. Histamine reduced the peak amplitude of postsynaptic currents (PSCs) in MMNs evoked by stimulation of the trigeminal motor nerve (5N), which was mimicked by 2-pyridylethylamine but not by dimaprit or immethridine. Moreover, 2-pyridylethylamine increased the failure rate of PSCs evoked by minimal stimulation and the paired-pulse ratio. These results suggest that histaminergic inputs to MesV neurons through H1 receptors are involved in the suppression of the jaw-closing reflex although histamine depolarizes MesV neurons and/or MMNs.

Abstract
Repetitive electrical stimulation to the cortical masticatory areas (CMA) evokes rhythmical jaw movements (RJM), whose patterns vary depending on the stimulation site, in various species. In guinea pigs, although alternating bilateral jaw movements are usually seen during natural chewing, it is still unclear which cortical areas are responsible for chewing-like RJM. To address this issue, we first defined the cortical areas inducing chewing-like RJM by intracortical microstimulation. Stimulation of the most lateral area of the CMA, the granular cortex, induced chewing-like RJM, but from the region medial to this area, simple vertical RJM were induced. Subsequently, to reveal the properties of these two areas in the CMA, the connections between the CMA and the dorsal thalamus were examined by neuronal tract-tracing techniques. The area inducing chewing-like RJM possessed strong reciprocal connections, mainly with the medial part of the ventral posteromedial nucleus, which is the sensory-relay thalamus. On the other hand, the simple vertical RJM-inducing area had reciprocal connections with the motor thalamus. The present study suggests that the CMA inducing chewing-like RJM is different from the CMA inducing simple vertical RJM, and plays a role in cortically induced chewing-like RJM under the influence of the sensory thalamus in guinea pigs.

Abstract
The basic pattern of rhythmic jaw movements produced during mastication is generated by a neuronal network located in the brainstem and referred to as the masticatory central pattern generator (CPG). This network composed of neurons mostly associated to the trigeminal system is found between the rostral borders of the trigeminal motor nucleus and facial nucleus. This review summarizes current knowledge on the anatomical organization, the development, the connectivity and the cellular properties of these trigeminal circuits in relation to mastication. Emphasis is put on a population of rhythmogenic neurons in the dorsal part of the trigeminal sensory nucleus. These neurons have intrinsic bursting capabilities, supported by a persistent Na(+) current (I(NaP)), which are enhanced when the extracellular concentration of Ca(2+) diminishes. Presented evidence suggest that the Ca(2+) dependency of this current combined with its voltage-dependency could provide a mechanism for cortical and sensory afferent inputs to the nucleus to interact with the rhythmogenic properties of its neurons to adjust and adapt the rhythmic output. Astrocytes are postulated to contribute to this process by modulating the extracellular Ca(2+) concentration and a model is proposed to explain how functional microdomains defined by the boundaries of astrocytic syncitia may form under the influence of incoming inputs.

Abstract
While the average frequency of chewing and food intake have been reported before, a detailed description of the pattern of chewing and the cumulative intake of food over the course of a meal have not. In order to achieve this goal, video recording of the maxillary-mandibular region of women eating food from a plate was synchronized with video recording of the plate and computer recording of the weight-loss of the plate. Video recording of chewing correlated strongly with chewing identified by magnetic tracking of jaw displacement in a test with chewing gum at three different frequencies, thus ensuring the validity of video recording of chewing. Weight-loss data were corrected by convolution algorithms, validated against human correction, using sliding window filtering to correct errors with video events as reference points. By use of this method, women ate on average 264 g of food over 114 min, they took an average of 51 mouthfuls during the meal and displayed on average 794 chews with 15 chews per chewing sequence. The number of mouthfuls decreased and the duration of the pauses after each mouthful increased in the middle of the meal and these measures were then restored. The ratio between chewing sequences and subsequent pauses remained stable although the weight of each mouthful decreased by the end of the meal, a measure that is hypothesized to be reflected in a decelerated speed of eating. The method allows this hypothesis to be tested and its implication for clinical intervention to be examined.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Mammals chew more rhythmically than lepidosaurs. The research presented here evaluated possible reasons for this difference in relation to differences between lepidosaurs and mammals in sensorimotor systems. Variance in the absolute and relative durations of the phases of the gape cycle was calculated from kinematic data from four species of primates and eight species of lepidosaurs. The primates exhibit less variance in the duration of the gape cycle than in the durations of the four phases making up the gape cycle. This suggests that increases in the durations of some gape cycle phases are accompanied by decreases in others. Similar effects are much less pronounced in the lepidosaurs. In addition, the primates show isometric changes in gape cycle phase durations, i.e. the relative durations of the phases of the gape cycle change little with increasing cycle time. In contrast, in the lepidosaurs variance in total gape cycle duration is associated with increases in the proportion of the cycle made up by the slow open phase. We hypothesize that in mammals the central nervous system includes a representation of the optimal chew cycle duration maintained using afferent feedback about the ongoing state of the chew cycle. The differences between lepidosaurs and primates do not lie in the nature of the sensory information collected and its feedback to the feeding system, but rather the processing of that information by the CNS and its use feed-forward for modulating jaw movements and gape cycle phase durations during chewing.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine if sensory inputs from the intraoral mechanoreceptors similarly contributed to regulating the activity of the jaw-opening muscles throughout the masticatory sequence. We also aimed to determine if sensory inputs from the chewing and non-chewing sides equally regulated the activity of the jaw-opening muscles. Electromyographic (EMG) activities of jaw muscles (digastric and masseter) and jaw movements were recorded in awake rabbits. The entire masticatory sequence was divided into preparatory, rhythmic-chewing and preswallow periods, based on jaw muscles activity and jaw movements. The jaw-opening reflex (JOR) was evoked by unilateral low-intensity stimulation of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) on either the chewing or non-chewing side. Amplitude of the JOR was assessed by measuring peak-to-peak EMG activity in the digastric muscle, and was compared among the masticatory periods and between the chewing and non-chewing sides. The JOR was strongly suppressed during the jaw-closing phase in the rhythmic-chewing and preswallow periods, but this effect was transiently attenuated during the late part of the jaw-opening phase in these periods. However, modulation of the JOR varied from strong suppression to weak facilitation during the preparatory period. The patterns of JOR modulation were similar on the chewing and non-chewing sides in all masticatory periods. The results suggest that the sensory inputs from the intraoral mechanoreceptors regulate the activity of the jaw-opening muscles differently during the preparatory period compared with the other masticatory periods. Sensory inputs from both the chewing and non-chewing sides similarly regulate the activity of the jaw-opening muscles.

Abstract
Mastication is the first stage of digestion and involves several motor processes such as food intake, intra-oral food transport, bolus formation and chewing in its broad sense. These complicated motor functions can be accomplished by the well-coordinated activities in various cranial motoneurons innervating the jaw, hyoid, tongue and facial muscles. The brainstem masticatory central pattern generator (CPG) plays a crucial role in generating basic activity patterns of these cranial motoneuron groups. However, descending inputs from higher brain (e.g., cerebral cortex) and mastication-generated peripheral sensory inputs also play important roles in modulating the activity pattern of each motoneuron so that the final motor outputs fit the environmental demand. In this review, we focus on the coordination of the trigeminal, facial and hypoglossal motoneurons during mastication. We first summarize findings showing the activity patterns of muscles innervated by these motoneurons during natural mastication, and then discuss the possible neural mechanisms underlying their coordinated activities during mastication.

Abstract
The cortical masticatory area (CMA) elicits rhythmic jaw movements in response to repetitive stimulation and is involved in the control of mastication. Based on jaw movement patterns, the CMA is divided into two parts. One is the part of the CMA in which a T-pattern similar to jaw movements during food transport in natural mastication is evoked by electrical stimulation. The other is more dorsomedially located, and during chewing a C-pattern similar to jaw movements can be induced. However, it is still not known which region of the putamen receives projections from the CMA and whether projections originate from both parts of the CMA. In this study, electrophysiological and histological experiments were undertaken in rabbits to investigate projections from the CMA to the putamen. Both experiments showed that the ventral region of the putamen received projections from the CMA. The density of the projections from the CMA area inducing the T-pattern seemed to be higher than that from the area inducing the C-pattern. Furthermore, the peak latency of the evoked potentials from stimulation of the CMA area inducing the T-pattern was shorter than that from stimulation of the area inducing the C-pattern. The data obtained from the present study indicate the functional role of the ventral region of the putamen in the regulation of mastication, and further suggest that the corticostriatal pathway is involved in the transition between behavioral jaw movement patterns.

Abstract
To study peri-oral facial muscle activity patterns and coordination with jaw muscles during ingestive behavior, electromyographic (EMG) activities in the peri-oral facial (buccinator: BUC, orbicularis oris: ORB) and jaw (masseter, digastric) muscles along with jaw movement trajectories were recorded in awake rabbits. A standardized amount of apple in a cylindrical shape was used as the test food. The period from food intake to just before swallowing (the masticatory sequence) was divided into three masticatory periods (preparatory period, rhythmic chewing period and preswallow period) based on the activity pattern of jaw muscles and jaw movement trajectories, and jaw movements and EMG activities in both the jaw and facial muscles during each masticatory period were assessed. Both the jaw and facial muscles were active throughout the masticatory sequence, and the activity patterns of facial muscles and the pattern of coordination between the facial and jaw muscles varied for each masticatory period. No consistent pattern was noted for the BUC activity during the preparatory period, whereas the ORB showed tonic activity throughout this period. During the rhythmic chewing and preswallow periods, both the ORB and BUC showed jaw-movement-related rhythmic bursts. However, significant differences were noted in the burst properties in both facial muscles and their temporal correlations with the jaw muscle activities between these two periods. Results suggest that the neural mechanisms regulating facial muscle activities may differ between the masticatory periods, and such mechanisms may contribute to the well-coordinated orofacial movements required for smooth masticatory sequence.

Abstract
Previous reports showed that sympathetic stimulation affects the activity of muscle spindle afferents (MSAs). The aim of the present work is to study the characteristics of sympathetic modulation of MSA response to stretch: (i) on the dynamic and static components of the stretch response, and (ii) on group Ia and II MSAs to evaluate potentially different effects. In anaesthetised rabbits, the peripheral stump of the cervical sympathetic nerve (CSN) was stimulated at 10 impulses s(-1) for 45-90 s. The responses of single MSAs to trapezoidal displacement of the mandible were recorded from the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus. The following characteristic parameters were determined from averaged trapezoidal responses: initial frequency (IF), peak frequency at the end of the ramp (PF), and static index (SI). From these, other parameters were derived: dynamic index (DI = PF - SI), dynamic difference (DD = PF - IF) and static difference (SD = SI - IF). The effects of CSN stimulation were also evaluated during changes in the state of intrafusal muscle fibre contraction induced by succinylcholine and curare. In a population of 124 MSAs, 106 units (85.4 %) were affected by sympathetic stimulation. In general, while changes in resting discharge varied among different units (Ia vs. II) and experimental conditions (curarised vs. non-curarised), ranging from enhancement to strong depression of firing, the amplitude of the response to muscle stretches consistently decreased. This was confirmed and detailed in a quantitative analysis performed on 49 muscle spindle afferents. In both the non-curarised (23 units) and curarised (26 units) condition, stimulation of the CSN reduced the response amplitude in terms of DD and SD, but hardly affected DI. The effects were equally present in both Ia and II units; they were shown to be independent from gamma drive and intrafusal muscle tone and not secondary to muscle hypoxia. Sympathetic action on the resting discharge (IF) was less consistent. In the non-curarised condition, IF decreased in most Ia units, while in II units decreases and increases occurred equally often. In the curarised condition, IF in group II units mostly increased. The results have important functional implications on the control of motor function in a state of 'high' sympathetic activity, like excessive stress, as well as in certain pathological conditions such as sympathetically maintained pain.

Abstract
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 contact of the teeth to the strip, and thus preceded the onset of the masticatory force. Since this finding suggests involvement of a feed-forward mechanism in the induction of the FMR, the temporal relationship between the onset of the FMR and that of the masticatory force was analyzed in five sequential masticatory cycles after application of the strip. The FMR was found to precede the onset of masticatory force from the second masticatory cycle after application of the strip, but never did in the first cycle. This finding supports the concept of a feed-forward control mechanism that modulates FMR timing. Furthermore, the FMR preceding the force onset disappeared after making a lesion of the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus (MesV) where the ganglion cells of the muscle spindle afferents from the jaw-closing muscles are located. In contrast, no such change occurred after blocking periodontal afferents by transection of both the maxillary and the inferior alveolar nerves. The putative feed-forward control of the FMR is therefore dependent mainly on sensory inputs from the muscle spindles, but little on those from the periodontal receptors, if any. We further examined the involvement of the CMA with the putative feed-forward control of the FMR via the transcortical loop. For this purpose, rhythmical jaw movements were induced by stimulation of the pyramidal tract. No significant change in the timing of the FMR occurred after the CMA ablation, which strongly suggests that the CMA is not involved in the putative feed-forward control of the FMR. The FMR was also noted to increase significantly in a hardness-dependent manner even after the MesV lesion, although the rate of increment decreased significantly. Contribution of muscle spindles and periodontal receptors to the hardness-dependent change of the FMR is discussed.

Abstract
The pattern of jaw movements is changed during a masticatory sequence from ingestion of food to its deglutition. The masticatory sequence is divided into three distinct stages in the rabbit. However, the neural mechanism involved in the alteration of the masticatory stages is still unknown. This study was designed to determine whether neuronal activity in the putamen and globus pallidus is related to the alteration of the masticatory stages. Fifty-three percent of the recorded neurons showed significant alterations of activity during mastication. Of these neurons, 16% changed their firing frequency throughout the masticatory sequence (sequence-related neurons) and 84% changed their firing frequency with the transition of the masticatory stages (stage-related neurons). The stage-related neurons were classified into two groups based on their neuronal activity patterns observed during mastication, i.e. simple type and complex type. The former are the neurons that were either facilitated or inhibited once during mastication, and the latter are those showing the facilitation or inhibition twice or more during mastication. Complex-type neurons were observed more frequently in the globus pallidus than in the putamen. These results suggest that the basal ganglia is involved in mastication and may related to the transition between the masticatory stages.

Abstract
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 strips of polyurethane foam, each of a different hardness, was inserted between the opposing molars during the jaw movements. The induced rhythmic jaw movements were crescent shaped and were divided into three phases: jaw-opening, jaw-closing, and power. The firing rate of muscle spindle units during each phase increased after strip application, with a tendency for the spindle discharge to be continuous throughout the entire chewing cycle. However, although the firing rate did not change during the jaw-opening and jaw-closing phases when the strip hardness was altered, the firing rate during the power phase increased in a hardness-dependent manner. In addition, the integrated EMG activity, the duration of the masseteric bursts, and the minimum gape increased with strip hardness. Spindle discharge during the power phase correlated with jaw-closing muscle activity, implying that the change in jaw-closing muscle activity associated with strip hardness was caused by increased spindle discharge produced through insertion of a test strip. The increased firing rate during the other two phases may be involved in a long-latency spindle feedback. This could contribute to matching the spatiotemporal pattern of the central pattern generator to that of the moving jaw.

Abstract
To explore the response characteristics of muscle spindle units in the masticatory muscles in the rabbit, the responses of muscle spindle units were recorded from the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus (MesV) under halothane anesthesia during ramp-and-hold stretches. Three firing patterns, initial burst (IB) at the onset of the dynamic phase, negative adaptation (NA) at the end of the dynamic phase and firing during the release (FDR) phase, were observed during muscle stretch. IB was present at higher stretch velocities, FDR at lower stretch velocities. The velocity at which an IB or FDR was present was different from unit to unit. Because, within the range of the velocities of stretch tested, units with NA always showed NA and units without NA never did, all recorded units were divided into two groups on the basis of the existence of NA (NA(+) or NA(-) units). Response characteristics of the two groups were then compared. NA(+) units showed an IB more frequently and FDR less frequently than NA(-) units. NA(+) units had significantly higher dynamic responsiveness and discharge variability than NA(-) units. The conduction velocity of the afferents of NA(+) units was higher than that of NA(-) units. However, distributions of these measurements were not bimodal. These results suggest that NA is the useful criteria to classify the muscle spindle endings in the masticatory muscles in the rabbit under halothane anesthesia.
