Development of neural circuits generating fetal oral-motor activity was characterized in an in vitro isolated brainstem block preparation. Rhythmical trigeminal activity (RTA) at E20-E21 resembled either the pattern or rhythm of neonatal RTA. Conversely, at E18-E19, RTA displayed a different pattern of discharge from neonatal RTA, and output was not regular but intermittent with another slow rhythm.
