Functional Role of Suprahyoid Muscles in Bolus Formation During Mastication

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
It still remains unclear how the suprahyoid muscles function in bolus formation during mastication. This study aimed to investigate the contributory role of the suprahyoid muscles during mastication.

Electromyographic activity of the masseter muscle in individuals with group function and canine guidance [PDF]

Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects, 2021
Background. There is no general consensus in restorative dentistry about which lateral guidance should be established. Some studies have shown that canine guidance decreases the tension of masticatory muscles.

Mechanical Mastication Reduces Fuel Structure and Modelled Fire Behaviour in Australian Shrub Encroached Ecosystems

Forests, 2021
Shrub encroachment of grassland and woodland ecosystems can alter wildfire behaviour and threaten ecological values. Australian fire managers are using mechanical mastication to reduce the fire risk in encroached ecosystems but are yet to evaluate its ...

Long-Term Response of Fuel to Mechanical Mastication in South-Eastern Australia

Fire, 2022
Mechanical mastication is a fuel management strategy that modifies vegetation structure to reduce the impact of wildfire. Although past research has quantified immediate changes to fuel post-mastication, few studies consider longer-term fuel trajectories

Constructing an adult orofacial premotor atlas in Allen mouse CCF

eLife, 2021
Premotor circuits in the brainstem project to pools of orofacial motoneurons to execute essential motor action such as licking, chewing, breathing, and in rodent, whisking. Previous transsynaptic tracing studies only mapped orofacial premotor circuits in
