Abstract:BackgroundDysphagia is one of the major post‐stroke complications, understanding post‐stroke changes in cortical excitability and promoting early remodeling of swallowing‐related cortical areas to enable accurate treatment is essential for recovery of patients.ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate hemodynamic signal changes and functional connectivity in acute stroke patients with dysphagia compared to age‐matched healthy participants in response to volitional swallowing using functional near‐infrared spectroscopy… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
