“…Background: To determine the effects of inferior alveolar nerve transection (IAN-X) on masticatory movements in
freely moving rats and to test if microglial cells in the trigeminal principal sensory nucleus (prV) or motor nucleus
(motV) may be involved in modulation of mastication, the effects of microglial cell inhibitor
minocycline (MC) on
masticatory jaw movements, microglia (Iba1) immunohistochemistry and the masticatory jaw movements and
related masticatory muscle EMG activities were studied in IAN-X rats.
