| Research Abstract |
Properties of the neural circuit involved in coordination of mastication movements is not clear. The aim of present study was to investigate synaptic transmission from the reticular formation dorsal to the facial nucleus to trigeminal and facial motoneurons using voltage-sensitive dye, laser photostimulation and patch-clamp recordings. Our results suggest that inputs from the reticular formation dorsal to the facial nucleus to trigeminal and facial motoneurons influence the coordination of mastication movements.
