Acknowledging the dynamical properties of neural networks allows insight into the functional segregation and integration of cerebral areas. From a theoretical viewpoint, the complexity of neuronal interactions within a distributed system may reflect its capacity to rapidly process multimodal information and modulate context-sensitive neural activity to encode perception and adaptive behavior. This article highlights recent studies aimed at understanding the functionally flexible connectivity of the orofacial substrate.
