Abstract:
:Excitation and inhibition of jaw-closing motoneurons (Masseteric and Temporal Motoneurons, Mass. and Temp. Mns) during transient jaw closing, the so-called jaw-closing reflex, and prolonged jaw opening elicited by palatal stimulation were studied. By pressing the anterior palatal surfaces sustained jaw opening was elicited, suggesting that sustained jaw opening results from inhibition of tonic background activity of jaw-closing motoneurons by inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) elicited by mechanical stimulation of the anterior palatal mucosa. Recordings showed that the onset of IPSPs was 80 ms earlier than the onset of jaw opening. Application of diffuse pressure stimulation to the posterior palatal surfaces elicited bursts of spikes triggered on excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs), suggesting that mechanosensory receptors from the posterior palatal mucosa send excitatory synaptic inputs to jaw-closing motoneurons. Furthermore, it is suggested that mechanosensory inputs from the posterior palatal mucosa may excite neurons in the central pattern generator and provide the motor patterns responsible for jaw closure during the jaw-closing reflex. We have demonstrated that excitation of Mass. Mns innervating the deep masseter muscle mainly contributed to maintaining the occlusal phase of jaw closure during the jaw-closing reflex. However, the onset of EPSPs was 100 to 160 ms (n = 27) earlier than the onset of jaw closure. In studies on spontaneously occurring jaw closure it was demonstrated that there was a proportional increase in the number of spikes of the Temp. Mn and the mechanical response (jaw closure).
