Altered cortical swallowing processing in patients with functional dysphagia: a preliminary study. by Sonja Suntrup, Inga Teismann, Andreas Wollbrink, Tobias Warnecke, Martin Winkels, Christo Pantev, Rainer Dziewas

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>Functional dysphagia--a condition with assumed normal brain function--seems to be associated with distinctive changes of the swallow-related cortical activation pattern. Alterations may reflect exaggerated activation of a widely distributed vigilance, self-monitoring and salience rating network that interferes with down-stream deglutition sensorimotor control.…”
