Zusammenfassung

Die Reflexaktivität des Protrudors der Zunge (M. genioglossus) wurde durch die Aktivierung propriozeptischer afferenter Fasern im N. trigeminus bedeutend herabgesetzt. Polysynaptische Reflexe zum M. genioglossus wurden entweder durch Reizung des N. lingualis oder des N. glossopharyngicus ausgelöst. Bedingende elektrische Reizung der Nerven verschiedener Kaumuskeln induzierte eine bis zu 500 msec andauernde Hemmung dieser Reflexe.
