There has been literature reporting the brain–stomatognathic connection for more than 100 years. However, most studies focused on the pathological mechanisms underlying diseases, such as the infectious routes between the brain and the head‐and‐neck regions. At present, very few frameworks have been proposed for the functional perspective of the brain–stomatognathic connection. By synthesizing recent clinical and experimental findings, in this section, we try to provide a ‘big picture’ regarding the brain–stomatognathic connection (Figure 1.3).
