Abstract:
:The nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) has been implicated in the modulation of the spinal sensorimotor function. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of electrical stimulation of the LC on sensorimotor function in the trigeminal system. The following two cases of sensorimotor behaviors mediated by the trigeminal brainstem sensory nuclear complex were examined: (1) the activity of the masseter muscle evoked by pressure on the region of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ); and (2) the activity of the digastric muscle evoked by electrical stimulation of the tooth pulp, resulting in the jaw-opening reflex. In the first case, LC stimulation at 10, 30 and 50 microA resulted in a 70%, 68% and 55% reduction in the magnitude of electromyogram (EMG) activity of the masseter muscle compared with the control (without LC stimulation), respectively. The threshold intensity for the onset of masseter EMG activity increaced to 106%, 111% and 121% of the control with 10, 30 and 50 microA LC stimulation, respectively. In the second case, EMG magnitude in response to the digastric muscle decreased to 42% of the control when 30 microA of LC stimulation was delivered. These results suggest that descending influences from the LC can act in suppression of the trigeminal sensorimotor function.
