Little Known Facts, Controversies and Misconceptions About Cranial Motor Nuclei (and a New Classification for All Motoneurons, Cranial, and Spinal)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Cranial nerves represent a notoriously complex province of the neuroanatomical landscape of the vertebrates. Here, we offer a selection of the anatomic, genetic, and developmental features of their efferent component that are often misrepresented, ignored or controversial, as a complement to more exhaustive treatments of the subject.

Sleep Bruxism: A Narrative Review of Current Concepts, Mechanisms, and Clinical Implications

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
Sleep bruxism is defined as “masticatory muscle activity during sleep that is characterized as rhythmic (phasic) or non‐rhythmic (tonic) and is not a movement disorder or a sleep disorder.” This comprehensive narrative review synthesizes current knowledge on the prevalence, risk factors, assessment, and management of sleep bruxism.

Unilateral mastication‐induced memory deficits linked to disrupted hippocampal cholesterol metabolism in rats

VIEW, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Unilateral mastication, a common oral habit, induces cognitive decline in rats by disrupting hippocampal cholesterol metabolism. It triggers astrocyte hyperplasia, enhances cholesterol synthesis, impairs transport/degradation, and reduces 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC), ultimately damaging synaptic function.

Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 443-453, April 2026.
Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...
