Abstract X‐Ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) comprises a set of 3D X‐
ray motion analysis techniques that merge motion data from in vivo X‐ray videos with …

Dysphagia results from diverse and distinct etiologies. The pathway from anatomy and
physiology to clinical diagnosis is complex and hierarchical. Our approach in this paper is to …

The human tongue has a critical role in speech, swallowing, and respiration, however, its
motor control is poorly understood. Fundamental gaps include detailed information on the …

Cetaceans are atypical mammals whose tongues often depart from the typical (basal)
mammalian condition in structure, mobility, and function. Their tongues are dynamic …

Animals have developed a range of drinking strategies depending on physiological and
environmental constraints. Vertebrates with incomplete cheeks use their tongue to drink; the …

Feeding behaviors require intricately coordinated activation among the muscles of the jaw,
tongue, and face, but the neural anatomical substrates underlying such coordination remain …

The first comprehensive single-source reference on the minipig, this accessible manual
provides a resource for research scientists on the potential and use of the minipig as a …

The currently accepted description of the pattern of electromyographic (EMG) activity in the
pharyngeal swallow is that reported by Doty and Bosma in 1956; however, those authors …

A new technique, tagged Cine-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (tMRI), was used to develop a
mechanical model that represented local, homogeneous, internal tongue deformation during …

During primate swallowing, tongue base retraction (TBR) drives the food bolus across the
oropharynx towards the esophagus and flips the epiglottis over the laryngeal inlet, protecting …
