Popis: The cortical masticatory area (CMA) regulates masticatory movements. However, there is limited information regarding the effect of respiratory disturbances on the functional development of the CMA. This study aimed to examine the effect of chronic unilateral nasal obstruction (UNO) on the CMA during the growth period. Forty-eight 8-day-old male Wistar albino rats were randomized into control (CONT, n = 24) and UNO (n = 24) groups. Arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
