Brief Summary

Swallowing activity in the oral phase is regulated by the cortical swallowing network, and the functional connectivity pattern of the cortical swallowing network is related to swallowing activity. The...

Detailed Description

Swallowing is a complex movement consisting of sequential and ordered activation of swallowing muscles interconnected cortical areas that facilitate the complex communication of sensory inputs and mot...
