| Research Abstract |
It is well known that the tongue movement plays an important role in feeding and swallowing, and oral rehabilitation often aims at restoring tongue motor function. Recent studies have also shown cortical neruoplasticity in relation to tongue movement training. Thus, we investigated cortical activity during tongue protrusion task by the functional near-infrared spectroscopy, to propose the training and evaluation for oral rehabilitation. Our findings suggest that the visually guided tongue movement may promise to improve the brain function.
