Driving plasticity in human adult motor cortex is associated with improved motor function after brain injury.
Chris H. Fraser,Maxine Power,Shaheen Hamdy,John C. Rothwell,David Hobday,Igor Hollander,Pippa Tyrell,Anthony Hobson,Steven Williams,David G. Thompson +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown with transcranial magnetic stimulation that sensory-driven reorganization of human motor cortex is highly dependent upon the frequency, intensity, and duration of stimulus applied.

Recovery of swallowing after dysphagic stroke relates to functional reorganization in the intact motor cortex.
Shaheen Hamdy,Qasim Aziz,John C. Rothwell,Maxine Power,Krishna D. Singh,David A. Nicholson,Raymond Tallis,David G. Thompson +7 more
TL;DR: Return of swallowing after dysphagic stroke is associated with increased pharyngeal representation in the unaffected hemisphere, suggesting a role for intact hemisphere reorganization in recovery.

Modulation of human swallowing behaviour by thermal and chemical stimulation in health and after brain injury
TL;DR: It is concluded that combined thermal and chemical modification of water consistently alters swallowing behaviour in health and after cerebral injury and has relevance in the management of neurogenic swallowing problems.

Deglutitive laryngeal closure in stroke patients
TL;DR: After stroke, duration of laryngeal delay and degree of sensory deficit are associated with the severity of aspiration, indicating a role for sensorimotor interactions in control of swallowing and have implications for the assessment and management of dysphagia after stroke.

Changes in pharyngeal corticobulbar excitability and swallowing behavior after oral stimulation
Maxine Power,Chris H. Fraser,Anthony Hobson,JC Rothwell,Satish Mistry,David A. Nicholson,D. G. Thompson,Shaheen Hamdy +7 more
TL;DR: Changes in corticobulbar excitability to FP stimulation are frequency dependent with implications for the treatment for neurogenic swallowing dysfunction, and neither 1-Hz, sham, nor median nerve stimulation altered excitability.
