"Binkie flutter," an apparently voluntary behavior of infants, possibly related to vibratory jaw movements in dogs: report of 4 cases.
نویسنده
چکیده
Four cases of apparently voluntary rapid vibratory pacifier movements occurring in normal, unstressed infants up to 1 year of age and captured on video are presented. I speculate on the possible relationship of the movements to similar vibratory jaw movements in dogs, in which species they may represent a neuromuscular mechanism for rapid feedback control.

متن کاملJaw movement dysfunction related to Parkinson's disease and partially modified by levodopa.
OBJECTIVES To test the hypotheses that Parkinson's disease can differentially produce deficits in voluntary and rhythmic jaw movements, which involve different neuronal circuits, and that levodopa treatment improves specific components of the motor deficit. METHODS Patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and control subjects were tested on a series of jaw motor tasks that included simple...
