Age-related changes in brain regional activity during chewing: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study - PubMed

Age-related changes in mastication-induced brain neuronal activity have been suggested. However, in humans, little is known about the anatomical regions involved. Using fMRI during cycles of rhythmic gum-chewing and no chewing, we have examined the effect of aging on brain regional activity during c …分類：pmid:12885854, doi:10.1177/154405910308200817, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't, M Onozuka, M Fujita, S Saito, Adult, Aged, Aging / physiology*, Analysis of Variance, Brain / physiology*, Cerebellum / physiology, Cerebral Cortex / physiology, Chewing Gum, Female, Humans, Image Processing, Computer-Assisted, Magnetic Resonance Imaging*, Male, Mastication / physiology*, Middle Aged, Motor Cortex / physiology, Prefrontal Cortex / physiology, Somatosensory Cortex / physiology, Thalamus / physiology, PubMed Abstract, NIH, NLM, NCBI, National Institutes of Health, National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, MEDLINE...
