Drop homotopic effects of masseter-muscle pain on somatosensory sensitivity in healthy participants
Scientific Reports, 2021 Current pain classifications use 1.0-kg palpation of the masseter muscle to distinguish between “pain patients” and “healthy controls” but a thorough understanding of the normal physiological responses to various somatosensory stimuli is lacking. The aim

Role of β-adrenergic signaling in masseter muscle
PLoS ONE, 2019 In skeletal muscle, the major isoform of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) is β2-AR and the minor isoform is β1-AR, which is opposite to the situation in cardiac muscle. Despite extensive studies in cardiac muscle, the physiological roles of the β-AR subtypes

Insomnia impairs muscle function via regulating protein degradation and muscle clock [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Background: Insomnia makes people more physically unable of doing daily duties, which results in a lack of strength, leads to lacking in strength. However, the effects of insomnia on muscle function have not yet been thoroughly investigated. So, the objectives of this study were to clarify how insomnia contributes to the decrease of muscular function ...

Neural self-organization for muscle-driven robots [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We present self-organizing control principles for simulated robots actuated by synthetic muscles. Muscles correspond to linear motors exerting force only when contracting, but not when expanding, with joints being actuated by pairs of antagonistic muscles.

Excitatory drive of masseter muscle during mastication with dental implants
Scientific Reports, 2018 Previously we have reported a biphasic increase in excitatory drive of the masseter muscle during natural chewing in young adults. We now hypothesize that sensory inputs from the periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs) are responsible for the late increase ...
