To identify the basic parameters of oral behavior in mice, we recorded the three-dimensional jaw movement trajectories and masseter and digastric muscle activities in freely behaving mice eating foods of various textures. Results showed that: (1) there are characteristic jaw movement patterns for food intake and mastication; (2) the pattern in a chewing cycle may be divided into opening, closing, and protruding (power) strokes; and (3) food texture affects basic patterns of jaw movement, muscle activities, and chewing rhythms. The oral motor behavior of mice appears identical to those of other experimental animals, so mice are appropriate animal models for the study of mastication.

Investigations which require electron microscope examination of a few specific areas of non-homogeneous tissues make random sampling of small blocks an inefficient and unrewarding procedure. Therefore, several investigators have devised methods which allow obtaining sample blocks for electron microscopy from region of tissue previously identified by light microscopy of present here techniques which make possible: 1) sampling tissue for electron microscopy from selected areas previously identified by light microscopy of relatively large pieces of tissue; 2) dehydration and embedding large numbers of individually identified blocks while keeping each one separate; 3) a new method of maintaining specific orientation of blocks during embedding; 4) special light microscopic staining or fluorescent procedures and electron microscopy on immediately adjacent small areas of tissue.
