Changes in the frequency of swallowing during electrical stimulation of superior laryngeal nerve in rats

Highlights • Repetitively evoked swallows gradually reduced during continuous SLN stimulation. • Reduction in RLN- or Cx-evoked swallows was not much as that in SLN-evoked swallows. • Decerebration did not show any effect on the reduction of swallowing initiation. • Brain stem neural network may be...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Repetitively evoked swallows gradually reduced during continuous SLN stimulation. • Reduction in RLN- or Cx-evoked swallows was not much as that in SLN-evoked swallows. • Decerebration did not show any effect on the reduction of swallowing initiation. • Brain stem neural network may be involved in reduction of swallowing initiation.
