Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Texture Evaluation and In Vivo Oral Tactile Perceptions of Cooked Wheat Pasta Sheets Partially Substituted with Pea Protein

Foods
Plant proteins are increasingly incorporated into food products to enhance their nutritional value. However, little is known about how this alters the textural perceptions of such products.

Anatomical, functional, physiological and behavioural aspects of the development of mastication in early childhood [PDF]

, 2016
Mastication efficiency is defined as the efficiency of crushing food between the teeth and manipulating the resulting particles to form a swallowable food bolus.

Mesoscale modelling of polymer aggregate digestion

, 2019
We use mesoscale simulations to gain insight into the digestion of biopolymers by studying the break-up dynamics of polymer aggregates (boluses) bound by physical cross-links.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

The Impact of Edentulism and Periodontitis on Cognition

Journal of the California Dental Association
Background Masticatory dysfunction and periodontitis are independently linked to cognitive decline. This article aims to highlight the individual and common roles that periodontitis and tooth loss play in cognition.

Shaping the human face: Periosteal bone modeling across ontogeny

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial morphology is a defining aspect of Homo sapiens that distinguishes our species from fossil ancestors and plays a central role in estimating age, sex, and ancestry in both past and present populations. Understanding how the face develops during postnatal ontogeny is essential for interpreting adult facial variation.
