Drug addiction manifests as a compulsive drive to take a drug despite serious adverse
consequences. This aberrant behaviour has traditionally been viewed as bad'choices' that …

Swallowing musculature is asymmetrically represented in both motor cortices. Stroke

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) generates contractions by depolarising axons
beneath the stimulating electrodes. The depolarisation of motor axons produces …

The capacity to swallow or eat is a basic human need and can be a great pleasure. Older

It has been proposed that somatosensory stimulation in the form of electromyographically
triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to the peripheral nerve can influence …
