The development of feeding and swallowing involves a highly complex set of interactions
that begin in embryologic and fetal periods and continue through infancy and early …

We discuss the application of beamforming techniques to the field of
magnetoencephalography (MEG). We argue that beamformers have given us an insight into …

The capacity to swallow or eat is a basic human need and can be a great pleasure. Older
adults look forward to sharing mealtimes and participating in social interactions. The loss of …

Although multiple regions of the cerebral cortex have been implicated in swallowing, the
functional contributions of each brain area remain unclear. The present study sought to …

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability in early childhood. The
worldwide prevalence of CP is approximately 2–2.5 per 1,000 live births. It has been …

The neurobiological study of swallowing and its dysfunction, defined as dysphagia, has
evolved over two centuries beginning with electrical stimulation applied directly to the …

We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to map the spatiotemporal evolution of cortical
activity for visual word recognition. We show that for five-letter words, activity in the left …

This review examines the evidence regarding the clinical and neurophysiological
differences between voluntary and spontaneous swallows. From the clinical point of view …

Studies suggest that the left insula may play an important role in speech motor
programming. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the role of the …

This review describes evidence in subprimates and primates that the face primary
somatosensory cortex (face SI) and primary motor cortex (face MI) are involved in …
