Anatomical description of the jaw muscles and theoretical bite force assessment in South American opossums using manual and digital dissection methods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Manual and virtual dissections were employed to examine the masticatory muscle architecture and bite force of three South American marsupials. The organisation of the muscles differed between species, with predicted bite forces exceeding previous estimates.

Fluoxetine, but not paroxetine, alters the jaw-closing muscle activity during non-rapid eye movement sleep in mice

Neuroscience Research
Sleep bruxism is an involuntary, exaggerated jaw-closing activity during sleep. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use is a risk factor for bruxism. However, the effect of various SSRIs on masseter (jaw-closing) muscle activity remains unclear.
