This study shows that oral somatosensation dynamically shapes motor cortical output to tongue muscles in macaques, with rapid reorganization under altered sensory conditions.

This study investigates how 3D tongue direction is encoded in the orofacial sensorimotor cortex during feeding and drinking, showing directional tuning in neurons and changes with sensory loss.

This paper introduces a method to track mandibular movements during dental procedures using integrated imaging and sensor data to assess motion within functional envelopes.

This study examines age-related differences in tongue and jaw kinematics during feeding in rhesus macaques, finding reduced stereotypy and delayed coordination in older animals, suggesting potential neuromechanical biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease.

This study investigates how neurons in different regions of primate orofacial sensorimotor cortex encode bite force and gape during feeding, finding stronger individual neuron encoding of bite force and population-level encoding of gape.
