Primate modularity and evolution: first anatomical network analysis of primate head and neck musculoskeletal system [PDF]

, 2018
Network theory is increasingly being used to study morphological modularity and integration. Anatomical network analysis (AnNA) is a framework for quantitatively characterizing the topological organization of anatomical structures and providing an ...

Linking individual variation in facial musculature to facial behavior in rhesus macaques

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expression is a key component of primate communication, and primates (including humans) have a complex system of facial musculature underpinning this behavior. Human facial musculature is highly variable across individuals, but to date, whether other primate species exhibit a similar level of inter‐individual variation is unknown ...

Mandibular condyle changes in rats with unilateral masticatory function

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 37-45, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Certain malocclusions or unilateral tooth loss can lead to asymmetric functional load of the two mandibular sides during mastication and induce skeletal asymmetries to the condylar process of growing individuals. However, in adults, asymmetric function may have a different impact. The aim of the present study was to investigate three‐

Functional implications of minor mandibular asymmetry: clinical and digital research on a sample of healthy patients [PDF]

, 2009
OBJECTIVE.The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence that the mandibular asymmetry could have towards the other components of the Stomathognatic system and to further related structures from a functional point of view. MATERIALS and METHODS.

Scaling functional patterns of skeletal and cardiac muscles: New non-linear elasticity approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
Responding mechanically to environmental requests, muscles show a surprisingly large variety of functions. The studies of in vivo cycling muscles qualified skeletal muscles into four principal locomotor patterns: motor, brake, strut, and spring.

Psychological Stress Induces Temporary Masticatory Muscle Mechanical Sensitivity in Rats [PDF]

, 2011
To explore the relationship between psychological stress and masticatory muscle pain, we created a communication stress animal model to determine whether psychological stress could induce increased mechanical sensitivity in masticatory muscles and to ...

Mammalian Masticatory Muscles: Homology, Nomenclature, and Diversification [PDF]

Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2011
There is a deep and rich literature of comparative studies of jaw muscles in mammals but no recent analyses employ modern phylogenetic techniques to better understand evolutionary changes that have occurred in these muscles. In order to fully develop and utilize the Feeding Experiments End-user Database (FEED), we are constructing a comprehensive ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with isolated oligodontia and a Wnt gene mutation

Oral Diseases, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 300-307, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Since Wnt signaling plays an important role in both tooth agenesis and altered intestine homeostasis, the aim was to compare gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with isolated oligodontia caused by a Wnt pathway gene mutation and controls.

Optogenetic activation of serotonergic neurons changes masticatory movement in freely moving mice

Scientific Reports
The serotonergic system modulates the neural circuits involved in jaw movement; however, the role of serotonin (5-HT) neurons in masticatory movement remains unclear.
