TLDR
It is concluded that gum hardness by altering proprioceptive feedback modifies the output of the masticatory central pattern generator in such a way that the temporal aspects of chewing and theoutput of the masseteric motor pool are affected.About:

Mastication and its Control by the Brain Stem
TL;DR: It is suggested that the production of the rhythm, and of the opener and closer motoneuron bursts, are independent processes that are carried out by different groups of cells.

Assessment of mastication with implications for oral rehabilitation: a review
TL;DR: Findings from literature on masticatory function for both healthy persons and patient groups are presented and the influence of oral rehabilitation, e.g. dental restorations, implant treatment and temporomandibular disorder treatment, on masticsatory function will be discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation of healthy mastication to factors pertaining to the individual or to the food
TL;DR: The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the variations of the measured masticatory variables that occur when mastication adapts to changes in characteristics of the individual or the food.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of texture of plastic and elastic model foods on the parameters of mastication.
TL;DR: The masticatory frequency was affected by hardness at the initial stage of the sequence but overall frequency adaptation was better explained by a change in rheological behavior, with plastic products being chewed at a slower frequency.

TL;DR: The origin of the co‐ordination and rhythm of mastication provoked by electrical stimulation of the putamen and corticobulbar pathways was studied in the rabbit and results confirmed the role of EMT in mastication.
