The OBB framework highlights the role of the exchange of sensorimotor information between the brain and the stomatognathic system in oral functions.
In the BSA framework, the brain is not just a passive translator for the sensorimotor information but also a ‘moderator’ that actively engaged with one's feeding behaviour.
Neuroimaging research on the BSA framework focuses on identifying individual differences in oral functions. The BSA emphasizes that the brain plays a more comprehensive role in sensorimotor and affective–cognitive processing on the stomatognathic functions and feeding behaviour.
