NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (TNSres) -- Rockefeller University issued the following news:
Speaking, singing, coughing, laughing, yelling, yawning, chewing--we use our jaws for many purposes. Each action requires a complex coordination of muscles whose activity is managed by neurons in the brain.
But it turns out that the neural circuit behind the jaw movement most essential to survival--eating--is surprisingly simple, as researchers from Rockefeller University recently described . . .
