| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The swallowing performance is influenced by various conditions. There are subcortical and cortical centers above the brainstem that induced swallowing movement, however, their specific role and connections are not well understood from the viewpoint of postural change. We applied functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), an optical method that non-invasively measure cortical hemodynamics, for brain mapping in swallowing with postural change.The haemodynamic pattern during swallowing appeared different in sitting versus in supine position in BA 6 and BA 40. Our findings suggest that the sensory input is more important in deglutition. We targeted therapeutic points by mapping functional connectivity on swallowing movements.
