pubmed:abstractText
Coordinated delivery of peripheral and cortical stimuli (paired associative stimulation [PAS]) has been shown to induce plasticity in limb motor cortex, however, its application in pharyngeal motor cortex and the molecular mechanisms involved in human neuroplasticity remain uncertain. Because neuroplasticity appears to form the basis for functional recovery of digestive functions such as swallowing after brain injury, the aim of this study was to characterize the induction of cortical plasticity in human pharyngeal motor cortex through PAS applied to pharyngeal musculature and investigate the potential role of glutamate in this process.
