The conclusion, unfortunately, remains the same and that is that the external manifestation of an organic and/or functional disturbance is a macroscopic effect which transfers a series of mesoscopic abnormalities of the system over time. Here we were able to test only some of these neurobiological mesoscopic phenomena but the clinical result must be interpreted as a whole phenomenon because current scientific knowledge does not allow us to weigh the physiopathological value of the neurotransmitters, the PIC, the basal nuclei, the ascending reticular formation, etc. . What is certain is that an abnormality in one of these sites can generate an 'encrypted code' as a message in machine language of the Central Nervous System which in itself could not be 'Bruxism' but a form of 'Neuromotor Hyperexcitability'. | |||
As usual we are faced with the same problem of vagueness of verbal language as happened with the patient Mary Poppins,the 'Bruxism' may just be a conventional term to be distinguished from an other term such as 'Tremor' but essentially the machine code may not be related to the verbal meaning. | As usual we are faced with the same problem of vagueness of verbal language as happened with the patient Mary Poppins,the 'Bruxism' may just be a conventional term to be distinguished from an other term such as 'Tremor' but essentially the machine code may not be related to the verbal meaning. |
