Abstract

Significant differences exist between human and Macaca fascicularis patterns of mandibular movement during mastication. Macaque patterns display less asymmetry, more uniformity, and limited lateral excursions when compared to humans for mastication of the same food. Different anatomical structures between the two species offer explanations of the different patterns that were observed. Researchers should use caution when using macaques as models for human mastication.

摘要

人类和食蟹猕猴在咀嚼过程中的下颌运动模式存在显著差异。与人类咀嚼相同食物时相比，猕猴的模式显示出较少的不对称性、更高的一致性以及有限的侧向偏移。这两个物种之间不同的解剖结构为观察到的不同模式提供了解释。研究人员在将猕猴用作人类咀嚼模型时应谨慎行事。
