Feeding behavior involves a complex organization of neural circuitry and interconnected
pathways between the cortex, the brainstem, and muscles. Elevated synchronicity is …

Proprioceptive signals from body muscles have historically been considered to project to the
rostrodorsal shell of the ventrobasal thalamic complex [the ventral posterolateral nucleus …

Proprioceptive sensory information from muscle spindles is essential for the regulation of
motor functions. However, little is known about the motor control regions in the cerebellar …

The supratrigeminal nucleus (Su5) is a key structure for controlling jaw movements; it
receives proprioceptive sensation from jaw-closing muscle spindles (JCMSs) and sends …

Occlusal disharmony has a negative impact on emotion. The mesencephalic trigeminal
nucleus (Vme) neurons are the primary afferent nuclei that convey proprioceptive …

Little is known about how proprioceptive signals arising from muscles reach to higher brain
regions such as the cerebral cortex. We have recently shown that a particular thalamic …

We have recently revealed that the proprioceptive signal from jaw-closing muscle spindles
(JCMSs) is conveyed to the dorsal part of granular insular cortex rostroventrally adjacent to …

Proprioception from muscle spindles is necessary for motor function executed by the
cerebellum. In particular, cerebellar nuclear neurons that receive proprioceptive signals and …

Background The thalamus has a central role in the pathophysiology of idiopathic cervical
dystonia (iCD); however, the nature of alterations occurring within this structure remain …

Our motor behavior can be affected by proprioceptive information. However, little is known
about which brain circuits contribute to this process. We have recently revealed that the …
