The evolution of feeding motor patterns in vertebrates.
Despite considerable skepticism, researchers have found that the patterns of muscle activation that control feeding behaviors of lower vertebrates have been surprisingly conserved during evolution. This tendency for conservation among taxa appears in the face of marked flexibility of motor patterns within individuals. One interpretation of these apparently conflicting trends is that the most ef...
متن کاملLocalization of Motor Neurons and Central Pattern Generators for Motor Patterns Underlying Feeding Behavior in Drosophila Larvae
Motor systems can be functionally organized into effector organs (muscles and glands), the motor neurons, central pattern generators (CPG) and higher control centers of the brain. Using genetic and electrophysiological methods, we have begun to deconstruct the motor system driving Drosophila larval feeding behavior into its component parts. In this paper, we identify distinct clusters of motor ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Oral Motor Intervention on Oral Feeding Readiness and Feeding Progression in Preterm Infants
Background: Advances in neonatal intensive care have markedly improved survival in preterm infants. These babies need hospitalization due to the immaturity of the respiratory and digestive systems. The timing for the initiation of proper feeding in premature infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is an important challenge for physicians, parents, and...
متن کاملMovements and Motor Patterns of the Buccal Mass of Pleurobranchaea during Feeding, Regurgitation and Rejection
Feeding, regurgitation, and rejection in the marine gastropod Pleurobranchaea all involve similar but not identical rhythmic movements of buccal mass structures such as the radula, jaws and lips. The part of the motor pattern which produces rhythmic radula movement, as recorded in the major external muscles of the buccal mass of behaving semi-intact preparations, was similar during the three di...
متن کاملFeeding-related motor patterns of the locust suboesophageal ganglion induced by pilocarpine and IBMX.
The mandibular motor pattern induced by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) in isolated locust suboesophageal ganglia (SOG) was investigated and compared with the motor pattern induced by pilocarpine in an already established preparation of the SOG. Motor patterns occurring after bath application of IBMX or pilocarpine were recorded extracellularly from suitable n...
