Swallowing is a complex motor event that is difficult to investigate in man by
neurophysiological experiments. For this reason, the characteristics of the brain stem …

Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a
combination of motor and non-motor dysfunction. Dysphagia is a common symptom in PD …

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

Age-related loss of muscle strength, known as sarcopenia, in the expiratory muscles, along
with reductions in lung elastic recoil and chest wall compliance decreases the intrathoacic …

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

The durations and temporal relationships of electromyographic activity from the submental
complex, superior pharyngeal constrictor, cricopharyngeus, thyroarytenoid, and …

We investigated the pathophysiological mechanisms of dysphagia in amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis. Forty-three patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis were examined by …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Swallowing is a motor process with several discordances and
a very difficult neurophysiological study. Maybe that is the reason for the scarcity of papers …

We studied the various physiological aspects of oropharyngeal swallowing in Parkinson's
disease (PD). Fifty‐eight patients with PD were investigated by clinical and …

Mutations in the RNA-binding protein (RBP) FUS have been genetically associated with the
motoneuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Using both human induced …
