Dopaminergic Control of Trigeminal Motor Outflow to Upper Airway Muscles in Anaesthetized Rats
The role of dopamine in directly modulating somatic motoneuron excitability and hence muscle tone is unknown. We investigated whether dopamine influences the trigeminal motor pool (MoV) that innervates the masseter and tensor palatini muscles, both of which function to maintain upper airway patency....
