AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Rhythmic activity in two independent structures of the digestive apparatus of Clione limacina--the radula and the hooks--is coordinated by neural networks in the buccal ganglion during feeding behavior. Optical recording of neuron activity in the buccal ganglion, which allows simultaneous recording of large numbers of neurons, showed that the activity of all neurons producing volley discharges can be assigned to only two phases of a single rhythm. Instead of the four theoretically possible phases of rhythmic neural activity, all experiments yielded recordings of biphasic activity, even in conditions of electrical stimululation of the cerebrobuccal connectives, which triggers rhythmic movements of this apparatus in preparations. These data demonstrate the phase-dependent coordination of two independent rhythmic food-procuring movements in Clione.

Oral complications associated with trigeminal trophic syndrome: A case report.

Introduction: Destruction of the trigeminal (Gasserian) ganglion or peripheral damage to the trigeminal nerve may lead to trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS), a rare condition characterized by self-inflicted trauma. To date, under 200 cases of TTS are documented in medical literature, with only sparse studies reporting on oral complications secondary to this condition.
Case Report: The following report presents a well-documented case of oral complications associated with TTS in an 83-year-old Caucasian female presenting with right-sided lesions on her nasal ala, scalp, buccal mucosa, and tongue, secondary to self-inflicted injury following their second microvascular decompression for surgical management of trigeminal neuralgia.

Changes caused by learning that a food is inedible in were examined for fast and slow synaptic connections from the buccal ganglia S1 cluster of mechanoafferents to five followers, in response to repeated stimulus trains. Learning affected only fast connections. For these, unique patterns of change were present in each follower, indicating that learning differentially affects the different branches of the mechanoafferents to their followers.

How does repeated stimulation of mechanoafferents affect feeding motor neurons? Monosynaptic connections from a mechanoafferent population in the buccal ganglia to five motor followers with different functions were examined during repeated stimulus trains. The mechanoafferents produced both fast and slow synaptic outputs, which could be excitatory or inhibitory. In contrast, other mechanoafferents produce only fast excitation on their followers.
