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 …

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

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 …

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 …

This study focuses on motoneurons and interneurons in the region of the hypoglossal
nucleus (XIIth) related to swallowing and chewing. In sheep anesthetized with halothane, we …

Extracellular recordings were made from a type of relay neurons of the superior laryngeal
nerve (SLN) afferents in the vicinity of the retrofacial nucleus (RFN) in either pentobarbitone …

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

Extracellular activity of swallowing neurons (SN) in the region of the hypoglossal (XIIth)
motor nucleus was studied in sheep anesthetized with halothane. Eighty six SN exhibited a …
