mechanisms and subsequent behaviors, both preclinically and in clinical research settings …

Research in animals and humans has shown that mastication maintains cognitive function in
the hippocampus, a brain area important for learning and memory. Reduced mastication, an …

Despite progress in dentistry, tooth loss in old age is still a reality, even more so in long‐term‐
