7 Motor Control of Masticatory Muscles

Fig. 7.4 ( a, b ) Surface views of the cortical sites from which jaw and tongue muscle activities

were evoked by ICMS (60 m A) at AP planes 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 mm anterior to bregma and within

the left cortex of a rat that 1 week earlier had its incisor extracted and a rat that 1 week earlier had

undergone sham extraction. Scale bar = 1 mm. ( c ) Number of sites from which ICMS (60 m A)

within the left and right face MI and face SI could evoke EMG activity in the left and right anterior

digastric muscles. The left and right anterior digastric muscles had a signi fi cantly larger number of

ICMS sites within the contralateral face MI (ANOVA, Bonferroni: P < 0.0001). Within the left face

MI, the number of right anterior digastric sites was signi fi cantly larger in rats of the extraction

group than in rats of the sham-extraction and naive groups (*ANOVA: P < 0.0004, Bonferroni:

P < 0.0015 and 0.0016, respectively) ( AP anterior-posterior; LAD left anterior digastric; RAD right

anterior digastric; MI primary motor cortex; R right face MI; L left face MI; ICMS intracortical

microstimulation) (adapted from Avivi-Arber et al. 2010 ). (Reprinted with permission from John

pattern of some of these evoked movements, for example mastication, may vary

between sites. Furthermore, the ICMS studies have demonstrated that each orofacial

muscle or movement is represented multiple times within face MI, indicating
