Immediate effects of thermal tactile oral stimulation on swallowing-related prefrontal cortical activation in healthy adults
Thermal-tactile oral stimulation (TTOS) is commonly used to facilitate swallowing; however, its effects on cortical activity remain unclear. We investigated the immediate effects of tactile stimulation (TS) and TTOS on swallowing behavior and prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation. Twenty healthy right-handed adults pa...
