Topographical organization of the facial motor nucleus in Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris)Christopher D Marshall
Department of Marine Biology, Texas A and M University at Galveston, Galveston, TX 77551, USA
Brain Behav Evol 70:164-73. 2007..This conjecture is based on recent data for rodents, similiarities in the rodent and sirenian muscular-vibrissal complex, and the analogous nature of the sirenian cortical Rindenkerne system with the rodent barrel system...
Somatotopic organization of perioral musculature innervation within the pig facial motor nucleusChristopher D Marshall
Texas A and M University at Galveston, Galveston, Tex 77551, USA
Brain Behav Evol 66:22-34. 2005..The large and somatotopically organized SOO motor neuron pool in pigs suggests that the upper lip might be more richly innervated than the other perioral muscles and functionally divided...

Texas A and M University at Galveston, 77551, USA
J Exp Biol 208:3721-30. 2005..Kinematic data support functional hypotheses that odontocetes generate suction by rapid depression of the hyoid and tongue...
