The anatomical connections between two regions involved in swallowing, the medullary
reticular formation around the nucleus ambiguus (ventral group of swallowing interneurons) …

The origin of the inputs from the medullary swallowing centre (dorsal region including the
nucleus of the solitary tract, or ventral region corresponding to the reticular formation …

The projections of ventral medullary reticular neurons on both trigeminal (Vth) and
hypoglossal (XIIth) motor nucleus were studied in sheep anesthetized with halothane. In a …

Swallowing is a complex centrally programmed motor sequencer, 9, 10, 16 usually divided
into a buccopharyngeal stage (coordinated contractions of several muscles of the mouth …

Neurons of the hypoglossal (XIIth) motor nucleus participate in swallowing, but nothing is
known of the input to these cells from swallowing interneurons (SIN) belonging to the …

The aim of the present study was to identify the central structures involved in the
organization of the swallowing reflex in the rat. Using concentric bipolar electrodes, the …

Intracellular activity of motoneurons of the rostral nucleus ambiguus during swallowing in …

Retrograde and anterograde axonal transport techniques were used to investigate the
organization of inputs from the dorsomedial medulla, a region known to elicit patterned …

The efferent connections of the rostral nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) in the rat were
studied by anterograde transport of Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin. Rostral to the …

Retrograde HRP studies indicated that motoneurons innervating soft palate and pharynx are
located in especially the dorsal group of the nucleus ambiguus, while motoneurons …
