The observation has been repeatedly made that repetitive, electrical stimulation of the face or masticatory area of the motor cortex of experimental animals can evoke rhythmical jaw movements (RJMs); this has been demonstrated in primates (1, 1 I-13, 17, 33), cat (2, 18, 20, 24, 25, 28), rabbits (2, 14, 19, 27, 30, 32), and guinea pigs (27). Rioch (27) was one of the first investigators to record jaw movements evoked by such cortical stimuli. She reported, in rabbits and guinea pigs, that each stimulus in the train produced a “fine type of jaw movement,” and “fine” or “small” contractions of the jaw-opener muscles (27). At cortical stimulus frequencies of between 1 and 9 Hz these fine contractions were the only responses observed, but at frequencies above 9 Hz one soon reached a threshold (between 9 and 20 Hz), at which point RJMs, occurring at a frequency of approximately 2.5 Hz, were induced (27). The observation was also made that the fine movements evoked by each stimulus continued to be produced but were now superimposed on “large excursions” of the jaw that occurred during the RJMs. The fine movements were observed at cortical stimulus rates as high as 64 Hz (27). In previous studies we have demonstrated the feasibility of recording intracellularly in trigeminal motoneurons in the anesthetized guinea pig during spontaneously occurring rhythmic jaw movements (7, 9). In the present study we have used this preparation to examine the neurophysiologic mechanisms underlying the discrete jaw movements evoked by each cortical stimulus and the relationship of these discrete movements to the RJMs induced by cortical stimulus trains above approximately 1 O-20 Hz. A preliminary report of some of these data was presented elsewhere (10).
