Description
Hardbound. Masticatory movements are characterized by rhythmicity and diversity of patterns of jaw, tongue and facial movements that vary depending on the species and the food ingested.In recent years the research field into the neural machinery of mastication has been greatly expanded to encompass a wider field of neuroscience, including a variety of biological and engineering disciplines. Thus, an international group of scientists who areactively involved in research of the neural mechanisms underlying motor, sensory and autonomic functions related to mastication gathered together in Tokyo, Japan to present a symposium on Neurobiology of Mastication.The primary purpose of the meeting was to provide in-depth review of our current understanding of the neural mechanisms controlling masticatory movements by integrating the recent progress in this research field from the molecular to systems approaches. The oral presentations reviewed recent advanc
