... that the solid model slightly overestimates mandibular biomechanical properties, but the pattern of change in biomechanical properties along the mandible remains the same. As such, feeding behavior reconstructions are consistent between the two models and are not improved by computed tomography. Bite force...

First, the feeding behavior of toad 5 was compared before and after unilateral denervation of the Mm. genioglossus using a t -test (one-tailed, α=0.025). Second, a two-way ANOVA was used to compare before and after bilateral denervation of the Mm...
