Key Points

The aim is to investigate how mastication training affects brain connectivity in older adults.
Participants underwent a structured mastication training program.
Functional connectivity was assessed using neural imaging techniques.
The study included a control group for comparison.
Significant improvements in resting-state functional connectivity observed post-training.
Increased connectivity measured across multiple neural networks, including those linked to cognition and memory.
Effect size of 0.45 for improvement in connectivity with a p-value < 0.05.
