Abstract

Activity of splanchnocranial and orofacial muscles regulates a number of behaviors and plays an important articulatory role in vocalization and speech. This chapter reviews experimental findings on oromotor central pattern generators (CPGs) and associated distributed neural networks in selected animals and humans. These generators control such primary behaviors as respiration, sucking, licking and mastication. A special emphasis is given to features that are relevant for the development and production of speech.
