    Notes: Summary The feasibility of adopting the microneurography technique (Vallbo and Hagbarth 1968) as a tool to investigate the mechanoreceptive innervation of peri- and intra-oral tissues was explored. Multi-unit activity and impulses in single nerve fibers were recorded from the infraorbital nerve in healthy volunteers. The innervation territories of individual nerve fascicles were mapped. These varied considerably but most fascicle fields comprised the corner of the mouth. Twenty-four single mechanoreceptive units were recorded. Eighteen innervated the skin of the face, and six innervated the mucous membranes of the lips or cheeks. A majority of the mechanoreceptive afferent units were slowly adapting with small and well defined receptive fields. It is suggested that the various slowly adapting responses may originate from two different types of afferent units. No afferents showed response properties similar to typical Pacinian-corpuscle afferents.

    Mechanoreceptive afferent activity in the infraorbital nerve in man during speech and chewing movements (1988)
    Springer
    Experimental brain research 72 (1988), S. 209-214 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1106
    Keywords: Mechanoreceptors ; Man ; Infraorbital nerve ; Microneurography ; Trigeminal nerve ; Speech gestures ; Mandibular movements ; Chewing ; Tactile sensibility ; Cutaneous sensibility ; Oral mucosa

    Notes: Summary The method of microneurography was used to record activity in trigeminal cutaneous and mucosal mechanoreceptive afferents during natural orofacial behaviors such as speech gestures, chewing, licking and swallowing. Multi-unit activity and impulses in single nerve fibers were recorded from the infraorbital nerve. It appeared that these mechanoreceptors respond to contact between the lips, air pressures generated for speech sounds, and to the deformation/strain changes of the facial skin and mucosa associated with various phases of voluntary lip and jaw movements. The relatively vigorous discharge of cutaneous and mucosal afferents during natural movements of the face are consistent with the claim that mechanoreceptors found within the facial skin provide proprioceptive information on facial movements.
