From theoretical concepts to policies and applied programmes: the landscape of integration of oral health in primary care
(2018)Background: Despite its importance, the integration of oral health into primary care is still an emerging practice in the field of health care services. This scoping review aims to map the literature ... -
Neonatal low-protein diet reduces the masticatory efficiency in rats
(2015-09)Little is known about the effects of undernutrition on the specific muscles and neuronal circuits involved in mastication. The aim of this study was to document the effects of neonatal low-protein diet ... -

Assessment of the potential role of muscle spindle mechanoreceptor afferents in chronic muscle pain in the rat masseter muscle
(2010-06)Background: The phenotype of large diameter sensory afferent neurons changes in several models of neuropathic pain. We asked if similar changes also occur in ‘‘functional’’ pain syndromes. Methodolo ... -
An astrocyte-dependent mechanism for neuronal rhythmogenesis
(2015-06)Communication between neurons rests on their capacity to change their firing pattern to encode different messages. For several vital functions, such as respiration and mastication, neurons need to ... -
Ion homeostasis in rhythmogenesis : the interplay between neurons and astroglia
(2015-09)Proper function of all excitable cells depends on ion homeostasis. Nowhere is this more critical than in the brain where the extracellular concentration of some ions determines neurons' firing pattern ... -
GABAergic control of action potential propagation along axonal branches of mammalian sensory neurons
(2003-03)The main axons of mammalian sensory neurons are usually viewed as passive transmitters of sensory information. However, the spindle afferents of jaw-closing muscles behave as if action potential traffic ... -
Cariology education in Canadian dental schools: where are we? Where do we need to go?
(2017)The aim of this study was to document cariology education across Canadian dental schools. Ten faculty members who supervise cariology education at each of the ten Canadian dental schools were invited ...
