Since humans in daily life perform multiple motor behaviors that often involve the
simultaneous activation of both jaw and tongue muscles, it is essential to understand the …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to assess characteristics of the
corticomotor control of the jaw muscles, but less is known about the cortical control of the …

This study investigated the effect of repeated tongue lift training (TLT) on the excitability of
the corticomotor representation of the human tongue and jaw musculature. Sixteen …

Corticomotor control of the human tongue has been reported to undergo neuroplastic
changes following several days of training in a tongue-protrusion task. The aims of the …

Background Studies addressing the training‐induced neuroplasticity and interrelationships
of the lip, masseter, and tongue motor representations in the human motor cortex using …

The aim of this study is to investigate effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
on neuroplasticity in corticomotor pathways related to tongue muscles evoked by a training …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to assess corticomotor control of
jaw muscles, but few studies have examined cortical plasticity of the masticatory system and …

Corticomotor pathways may undergo neuroplastic changes in response to acquisition of
new motor skills. Little is known about the motor control strategies for learning new tongue …

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different training types and
secondary to test gender differences on the training-related cortical plasticity induced by …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this experimental study was to investigate if perturbation of
somatosensory function would change corticomotor excitability of the tongue musculature in …
