“…Whisking, for example, can be generated in the absence of olfactory or trigeminal sensory input, and also after removal of the cortex 5, 18, 28, 29 . Similarly, chewing 30, 31 , licking 32, 33 , and breathing 34 can occur without proprioceptive feedback, and without descending input from cortex 35 . The major circuits that underlie the generation of rhythmic orofacial actions, including their putative CPGs, are thought to be located in the pons and medulla of the brainstem.…”

Mammals perform a multitude of well-coordinated orofacial behaviors such as breathing, sniffing, chewing, licking, swallowing, vocalizing, and in rodents, whisking. The coordination of these actions must occur without fault to prevent fatal blockages of the airway. Deciphering the neuronal circuitry that controls even a single action requires understanding the integration of sensory feedback and executive commands. A far greater challenge is to understand the coordination of multiple actions. Here we focus on brainstem circuits that drive rhythmic orofacial actions. We discuss three neural computational mechanisms that may enable circuits for different actions to operate without interfering with each other. We conclude with proposed experimental programs for delineating the neural control principles that have evolved to coordinate orofacial behaviors.

“…Furthermore, lightly anesthetized animals will chew on objects placed in the mouth, 72 -73 or in response to tonic pressure applied to the hard palate. 74 - 75 Thexton et al 76 have found recently that a high-frequency digastric rhythm (10 to 18 Hz) can be elicited by electrical stimulation of the lip of decerebrate rabbit pups.…”

This review describes the patterns of mandibular movements that make up the whole sequence from ingestion to swallowing food, including the basic types of cycles and their phases. The roles of epithelial, periodontal, articular, and muscular receptors in the control of the movements are discussed. This is followed by a summary of our knowledge of the brain stem neurons that generate the basic pattern of mastication. It is suggested that the production of the rhythm, and of the opener and closer motoneuron bursts, are independent processes that are carried out by different groups of cells. After commenting on the relevant properties of the trigeminal and hypoglossal motoneurons, and of internuerons on the cortico-bulbar and reflex pathways, the way in which the pattern generating neurons modify sensory feedback is discussed.

“…Moreover, both burst size and initial lick rate covary with sucrose concentration and can be altered by physiological states, which are thought to produce hedonic plasticity [2–5]. On the other hand, the local or primary lick rate (as defined as the average interval between licks less than 1 sec in duration) reflects the output of a central pattern generator (CPG) that is not easily modulated by extrinsic factors [6–9]. …”

In order to examine genetic influences on fluid ingestion, 20-min intake of either water or 0.1 M sucrose was measured in a lickometer in 18 isogenic strains of mice, including 15 inbred strains and 3 F1 hybrid crosses. Intake and licking data were examined at a number of levels, including lick rate as defined by mean or median interlick interval, as well as several microstructural parameters (i.e. burst-pause structure). In general, strain variation for ingestive phenotypes were correlated across water and sucrose in all strains, indicating fundamental, rather than stimulus-specific, mechanisms of intake. Strain variation was substantial and robust, with heritabilities for phenotypes ranging from 0.22 to 0.73. For mean interlick interval (MPI; a measure of lick rate) strains varied continuously from 94.3 to 127.0 ms, a range consistent with previous studies. Furthermore, variation among strains for microstructural traits such as burst size and number suggested that strains possess different overall ingestive strategies, with some favoring more short bursts, and others favoring fewer, long bursts. Strains also varied in cumulative intake functions, exhibiting both linear and decelerated rates of intake across the session.
