Non-Synaptic Messaging:
Piezoelecticity, Bioelectric Fields, Neuromelanin and Dentocranial
Implications
Blum CL, Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research,
Jan 2007: 1-6.
Introduction: Most nervous system communication occurs at
synaptic junctions, however a relatively new branch of neurophysiology
has recently been investigating a nontraditional form of neural
communication called nonsynaptic messaging. There are various forms of
nonsynaptic messaging and discussed in some detail is its relationship
to glial cell and CSF activity, the relationship between a
piezoelectric or mechanoelectric effect, and low level electromagnetic
fields and neuromelanin.
Discussion: Implications of mechanoelectric activity in bone
and dentition and a possible neurological affect might involve the
dental and chiropractic fields as it relates to their cotreatment of
dental, cranial and vertebral dysfunction secondary to
temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD).
Conclusion: Somatovisceral relationships, diffuse
neurological syndromes, and reflex points on the body unrelated to
direct neurological synaptic connections might have some explanation
based on the theories presented. Further study into the phenomena of
nonsynaptic messaging and its possible relationship to clinical
presentations is warranted.
