Action potentials and slow waves were recorded from the hypoglossal nucleus of rats during licking of water from a drinking tube. Periods of licking and of rhythmic neural activity were usually highly correlated, as were their frequencies. Neural activity sometimes continued after cessation of licking; at other times, it stopped during a short interruption of licking and resumed in rhythm with licking. These observations are consistent with an oscillatory model of the control of licking.
在大鼠从饮水管舔水的过程中，记录了舌下神经核的动作电位和慢波。舔舐期和节律性神经活动期通常高度相关，其频率也是如此。舔舐停止后，神经活动有时仍会持续；在其他时候，它会在舔舐的短暂中断期间停止，并随着舔舐恢复节律。这些观察结果与舔舐控制的振荡模型一致。
