Effects of periodontal stimulation on VHM neurones in anesthetized rats
1991
Abstract In anesthetized rats, mechanical stimulations, the direction and intensity of which could be modified, were applied to the superior incisive while single neurone activities were recorded within the VHM region by means of extracellular glass microelectrodes. The great sensitivity of periodontal receptors to the direction and the intensity of the stimulations was demonstrated at this level. This finding, which is reported here in detail for the first time, suggests that the periodontal afferents might be involved in physiological mechanisms including food intake regulation and osteomorphogenesis.
