Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) from Temporalis muscle
What is it about?
The masseter inhibitory reflex was recorded electromyographically using mVEMP (Masseter Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials) and it has origin of both vestibular and cochlear afferents. Researchers so far recorded this mVEMP in masseter muscles, whereas in our article we have recorded not only in masseter muscles but also in temporalis muscle. This new finding will pave way to study mVEMP in different perspective.
Why is it important?
At this point, we can use temporalis as an alternate muscle to record mVEMP however other features and neurophysiological substrate for VEMPs from temporalis muscle needs to be explored.
