Swallowing movements are produced by a central pattern generator located in the medulla
oblongata. It has been established on the basis of microelectrode recordings that the …

Over the past 20 years, research on the physiology of swallowing has confirmed that the
oropharyngeal swallowing process can be modulated, both volitionally and in response to …

Mammals perform a multitude of well-coordinated orofacial behaviors such as breathing,
sniffing, chewing, licking, swallowing, vocalizing, and in rodents, whisking. The coordination …

Twenty healthy preterm infants (gestational age 26 to 33 weeks, postmenstrual age [PMA]
32.1 to 39.6 weeks, postnatal age [PNA] 2.0 to 11.6 weeks) were studied weekly from …

licking. NEUROSCI BIOBEHAV REV 21 (5) 631–647, 1997.—The location, organization and …

Background and Purpose—We have investigated the pathophysiological mechanisms of
dysphagia in Wallenberg's syndrome (WS) that are due to lateral medullary infarction (LMI) …

Breathing results from sequential recruitment of muscles in the expiratory, inspiratory, and
postinspiratory (post-I) phases of the respiratory cycle. Here we investigate whether neurons …

The tongue must move with remarkable speed and precision between multiple orofacial
motor behaviors that are executed virtually simultaneously. Our present understanding of …

Feeding behaviors require intricately coordinated activation among the muscles of the jaw,
tongue, and face, but the neural anatomical substrates underlying such coordination remain …

Now with videos! Dysphagia Following Stroke, Third Edition is a practical and easy-to-use
resource for clinicians treating swallowing disorders in the stroke population. The authors …
