We speculate that cortical reactions evoked by swallowing activity may be abnormal in
patients with central infarction with dysphagia. The present study aimed to detect functional …

Background & Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the mechanism for recovery of
swallowing after dysphagic stroke. Methods: Twenty-eight patients who had a unilateral …

Background: Swallowing dysfunction is common and disabling after acute stroke; however,
the mechanism of dysphagia or recovery of swallowing from dysphagia remains uncertain …

Objective Dysphagia after cerebral infarction (DYS) has been detected in several brain
regions through resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). In this study …

Objective: To investigate the changes of the functional connectivity of hypothalamus and the
whole brain anisotropy in patients with dysphagia after stroke using magnetic resonance …

Background: Early detection and intervention for post-stroke dysphagia could reduce the
incidence of pulmonary complications and mortality. The aims of this study were to …

Background and objectives Strokes will result in decreased in cortical excitability and
changed in the balance between the affected and unaffected hemispheres. Previous studies …

Background. Swallowing dysfunction is intractable after acute stroke. Our understanding of
the alterations in neural networks of patients with neurogenic dysphagia is still developing …

Neurogenic dysphagia frequently occurs after stroke and deglutitive aspiration is one of the
main reasons for subacute death after stroke. Although promising therapeutic interventions …

Background Dysphagia is one of the major post‐stroke complications, understanding post‐
stroke changes in cortical excitability and promoting early remodeling of swallowing‐related …
