Neurons in the dorsomedial medulla contribute to swallow pattern generation: Evidence of inspiratory activity during swallow.

Active contraction of the diaphragm and other inspiratory pump muscles during swallow create a negative thoracic pressure to improve the movement of the bolus (food/liquid) into the esophagus. We tested the hypothesis that dorsomedial medullary inspiratory neurons, including the nucleus tractus soli...
