Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does tactile thermal oral stimulation increase the cortical representation of swallowing?
Answer: In the present study functional cortical changes elicited by oral sensory stimulation could be demonstrated. We suggest that these results reflect short-term cortical plasticity of sensory swallowing areas. These findings facilitate our understanding of the role of cortical reorganization in dysphagia treatment and recovery.
Output (English): yes
