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

VIEW, EarlyView.
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.
