| Publisher Description: Mastication and Swallowing are functions common to most forms of animal life, yet there exists much uncertainty as to their biological basis, and a diversity of opinion on the treatment of disorders of the mastication and deglutitory appartus. During the last fifteen years ther ehas been a considerable increase in research into clinical aspects related to these two vital functions, and also into their underlying biological, and especially neurophysiological, mechanisms. This volume presents the edited proceedings of a symposium held in 1974 in Vancouver, British Columbia, attended by scientists from several countries who are actively involved in such research. In addition to a broad, up-to-date coverage of its subject, Mastication and Swallowing stresses conceptual aspects and suggests lines of future clinical and basic research. |
