“…Neurophysiologically, skeletal muscles are dynamic and able to change their metabolism based on environmental demands, being amount of activity or inactivity, hormonal status, loading or lack of loading. With the right training, the muscle mass or even the metabolism and ratio of fast twitch fibres (powerful but easily fatigued) to slow twitch fibres (less powerful but fatigue resistant) may be altered [77,78]. Changes in musculature have been linked to craniofacial development, it has even been said that assessing intraoral pressure may be an important tool for studying the development of malocclusions [79].…”

The field of epigenetics has really come to fruition this century thanks to advances particularly in science and technology. Genetics had taken off in 1865 with Gregor Mendel's genetic laws. The rise of epigenetics was really a consequence of the Human Genome Project carried out in the late twentieth century, a project dedicated to map the entire human genome. Initial completion took place in 2003 where approximately ninety percent of the genome had been mapped, and 2022 saw the ultimate completion of this project.
