Abstract
A stable, reliable, non-invasive, quantitative assessment of swallowing function remains to be established. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is commonly used to aid in the diagnosis of dysphagia. Most diagnostic applications involve single-pulse TMS and motor evoked potential (MEP) recordings, the use of which is not clinically suitable in patients with severe dysphagia given the large variability in MEPs measured from the muscles involved in swallowing. Previously, we developed a TMS device that can deliver quadripulse theta-burst stimulation in 16 monophasic magnetic pulses through a single coil, enabling the measurement of MEPs related to hand function. We applied a system for MEP conditioning that relies on a 5 ms interval-monophasic quadripulse magnetic stimulation (QPS5) paradigm to produce 5 ms interval-four sets of four burst trains; quadri-burst stimulation (QBS5), which is expected to induce long-term potentiation (LTP) in the stroke patient motor cortex. Our analysis indicated that QBS5 conditioned left motor cortex induced robust facilitation in the bilateral mylohyoid MEPs. Swallowing dysfunction scores after intracerebral hemorrhage were significantly correlated with QBS5 conditioned-MEP parameters, including resting motor threshold and amplitude. The degree of bilateral mylohyoid MEP facilitation after left side motor cortical QBS5 conditioning and the grade of severity of swallowing dysfunction exhibited a significant linear correlation (r = -0.48/-0.46 and 0.83/0.83; R2 = 0.23/0.21 and 0.68/0.68, P < 0.001; Rt./Lt. side MEP-RMT and amplitudes, respectively). The present results indicate that RMT and amplitude of bilateral mylohyoid-MEPs after left motor cortical QBS5 conditioning as surrogate quantitative biomarkers for swallowing dysfunction after ICH. Thus, the safety and limitations of QBS5 conditioned-MEPs in this population should be further explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improved ability to predict patient recovery would guide post-stroke care by helping clinicians personalize treatment and maximize outcomes. Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a direct measure of the functional neuroelectric activity in the brain that forms the basis for neuroplasticity and recovery, and thus may increase prognostic ability. OBJECTIVE To examine evidence for the prognostic utility of EEG in stroke recovery via systematic review/meta-analysis. METHODS Peer-reviewed journal articles that examined the relationship between EEG and subsequent clinical outcome(s) in stroke were searched using electronic databases. Two independent researchers extracted data for synthesis. Linear meta-regressions were performed across subsets of papers with common outcome measures to quantify the association between EEG and outcome. RESULTS 75 papers were included. Association between EEG and clinical outcomes was seen not only early post-stroke, but more than 6 months post-stroke. The most studied prognostic potential of EEG was in predicting independence and stroke severity in the standard acute stroke care setting. The meta-analysis showed that EEG was associated with subsequent clinical outcomes measured by the Modified Rankin Scale, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment (r = .72, .70, and .53 from 8, 13, and 12 papers, respectively). EEG improved prognostic abilities beyond prediction afforded by standard clinical assessments. However, the EEG variables examined were highly variable across studies and did not converge. CONCLUSIONS EEG shows potential to predict post-stroke recovery outcomes. However, evidence is largely explorative, primarily due to the lack of a definitive set of EEG measures to be used for prognosis.

Abstract
Sustained limb motor activity has been used as a therapeutic tool for improving rehabilitation outcomes and is thought to be mediated by neuroplastic changes associated with activity-induced cortical excitability. Although prior research has reported enhancing effects of continuous chewing and swallowing activity on learning, the potential beneficial effects of sustained oromotor activity on speech improvements is not well-documented. This exploratory study was designed to examine the effects of continuous oromotor activity on subsequent speech learning. Twenty neurologically healthy young adults engaged in periods of continuous chewing and speech after which they completed a novel speech motor learning task. The motor learning task was designed to elicit improvements in accuracy and efficiency of speech performance across repetitions of eight-syllable nonwords. In addition, transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to measure the cortical silent period (cSP) of the lip motor cortex before and after the periods of continuous oromotor behaviors. All repetitions of the nonword task were recorded acoustically and kinematically using a three-dimensional motion capture system. Productions were analyzed for accuracy and duration, as well as lip movement distance and speed. A control condition estimated baseline improvement rates in speech performance. Results revealed improved speech performance following 10 min of chewing. In contrast, speech performance following 10 min of continuous speech was degraded. There was no change in the cSP as a result of either oromotor activity. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed in the context of speech rehabilitation and neuromodulation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to describe measurements of stimulus-response curves in the anterior digastric muscle (ADM) bilaterally following transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the right and left hemispheres. The first dorsal interosseous muscle (FDI) was the control muscle. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects were 20 healthy young adults. Test sessions determined motor thresholds (MT) and stimulus-response curves (1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 × MT) from either the FDI or ADM following TMS to left and right hemispheres using the double cone coil. Bilateral recordings of MEPs in the left and right ADM allowed us to generate stimulus response curves following ipsilateral and contralateral TMS. RESULTS Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for MEP amplitudes from ipsilateral and contralateral ADMs were >0.60 at motor threshold (MT) and >0.90 at stimulus intensities above MT. There was a linear increase in MEP amplitudes across stimulus intensities for the FDI following contralateral TMS, while MEP amplitudes from the ADM following contralateral and ipsilateral TMS increased linearly across stimulus intensities [F(3, 57) [Muscle × Recording Site × Stim Intensity] = 33.57; p < 0.05]; (ηp2 = 0.64). The slopes of the stimulus-response curve of the contralateral FDI was greater than the slopes of the stimulus response curves of the ipsilateral and contralateral ADM (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The current study provided insights on the methodology for recording stimulus response curves in the ADM with TMS. These findings may translate into a valid, reliable, and relevant clinical outcome to study the pathophysiology of the corticobulbar motor system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The corticobulbar tract is a potential neural pathway involved in swallowing. The frontal operculum, insular cortex, corona radiata and internal capsule, which are frequently involved in middle cerebral artery (MCA) strokes, are locations in which lesions cause dysphagia. However, it is unclear whether the locations are linked to the corticobulbar tract or whether corticobulbar tract integrity is associated with dysphagia severity. This study aimed to assess the association between corticobulbar tract integrity and dysphagia severity after MCA stroke. METHODS Thirty dysphagic patients after MCA stroke and 27 healthy controls were examined. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-derived parameters of the corticobulbar tract were compared between patient and control groups. Next, patients were divided into mild and moderate-to-severe dysphagia groups, and DTI-derived parameters of the corticobulbar tract were compared between the subgroups. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between corticobulbar tract integrity and dysphagia severity. RESULTS The tract volume (TV) of the affected corticobulbar tract was lower in dysphagic patients than in healthy controls (P < 0.001). According to dysphagia severity, TV of the unaffected corticobulbar tract was higher in the mild dysphagia group than in the moderate-to-severe dysphagia group (P = 0.012). TV of the unaffected corticobulbar tract was independently associated with dysphagia severity according to the logistic regression model (adjusted odds ratio 0.817, 95% confidence interval 0.683-0.976). CONCLUSIONS The corticobulbar tract was affected after MCA stroke and may be associated with dysphagia. A higher corticobulbar TV in the unaffected hemisphere was indicative of better swallowing function in dysphagic patients after MCA stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain mapping is fundamental to understanding brain organization and function. However, a major drawback to the traditional Brodmann parcellation technique is the reliance on the use of postmortem specimens. It has therefore historically been difficult to make any comparison regarding functional data from different regions or hemispheres within the same individual. Moreover, this method has been significant limited by subjective boundaries and classification criteria and therefore suffer from reproducibility issues. The development of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) offers an alternative approach to brain mapping, specifically the motor cortical regions by eliciting quantifiable functional reactions. OBJECTIVE To precisely describe the motor cortical topographic representation of pharyngeal constrictor musculature using TMS and to further map the brain for use as a tool to study brain plasticity. METHODS 51 healthy subjects (20 male/31 female, 19-26 years old) were tested using single-pulse TMS combined with intraluminal catheter-guided high-resolution manometry and a standardized grid cap. We investigated various parameters of the motor-evoked potential (MEP) that include the motor map area, amplitude, latency, center of gravity (CoG) and asymmetry index. RESULTS Cortically evoked response latencies were similar for the left and right hemispheres at 6.79 ± 0.22 and 7.24 ± 0.27 ms, respectively. The average scalp positions (relative to the vertex) of the pharyngeal motor cortical representation were 10.40 ± 0.19 (SE) cm medio-lateral and 3.20 ± 0.20 (SE) cm antero-posterior in the left hemisphere and 9.65 ± 0.24 (SE) cm medio-lateral and 3.18 ± 0.23 (SE) cm antero-posterior in the right hemisphere. The mean motor map area of the pharynx in the left and right hemispheres were 9.22 ± 0.85(SE) cm2and 10.12 ± 1.24(SE) cm2, respectively. The amplitudes of the MEPs were 35.94 ± 1.81(SE)uV in the left hemisphere and 34.49 ± 1.95(SE)uV in the right hemisphere. By comparison, subtle but consistent differences in the degree of the bilateral hemispheric representation were also apparent both between and within individuals. CONCLUSION The swallowing musculature has a bilateral motor cortical representation across individuals, but is largely asymmetric within single subjects. These results suggest that TMS mapping using a guided intra-pharyngeal EMG catheter combined with a standardized gridded cap might be a useful tool to localize brain function/dysfunction by linking brain activation to the corresponding physical reaction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate association between lesion location on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed after an infarction and the duration of dysphagia in middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction. METHODS A videofluoroscopic swallowing study was performed for 59 patients with dysphagia who were diagnosed as cerebral infarction of the MCA territory confirmed by brain MRI. Lesions were divided into 11 regions of interest: primary somatosensory cortex, primary motor cortex, supplementary motor cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, parieto-occipital cortex, insular cortex, posterior limb of the internal capsule (PLIC), thalamus, basal ganglia (caudate nucleus), and basal ganglia (putamen). Recovery time was defined as the period from the first day of L-tube feeding to the day that rice porridge with thickening agent was prescribed. Recovery time and brain lesion patterns were compared and analyzed. RESULTS The mean recovery time of all patients was 26.71±16.39 days. The mean recovery time was 36.65±15.83 days in patients with PLIC lesions and 32.6±17.27 days in patients with caudate nucleus lesions. Only these two groups showed longer recovery time than the average recovery time for all patients. One-way analysis of variance for recovery time showed significant differences between patients with and without lesions in PLIC and caudate (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Injury to both PLIC and caudate nucleus is associated with longer recovery time from dysphagia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between mylohyoid motor-evoked potentials (MH-MEP) and swallowing function and determine the value of MH-MEP for predicting aspiration 3 months poststroke. METHODS Subacute patients within a month of their first stroke were enrolled up for 2 consecutive years. Videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS) were performed twice. Patients were evaluated during VFSS using the penetration aspiration scale (PAS) and videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS). MH-MEP was recorded in the mylohyoid muscles. The active electrode was positioned submentally, 2 cm lateral to midline. Magnetic stimulation was performed on the contralateral motor cortex, 2-4 cm anterior and 4-6 cm lateral to the cranial vertex. The resting motor threshold (rMT), latency, and amplitude stimulation at 120% (amp120) and 150% (amp150) of the rMT were assessed. The ratio of each parameter was also estimated. The relationship between MH-MEP and VFSS findings was analyzed. KEY RESULTS Sixty-eight patients completed the study. On VFSS at 3 months poststroke, 24 (35.3%) patients showed aspiration. The rMT, rMT ratio, amp120 and amp120 ratio were significantly correlated with the PAS and VDS (P < .05). The rMT ratio (OR = 1.208, P = .001) and amp120 ratio (OR = 0.821, P = .002) were independent predictors of aspiration at 3 months. The optimal cut-off value of the rMT ratio was 126.1 (AUC = 0.94, sensitivity = 0.92, specificity = 0.89); that of the amp120 ratio was 66.5 (AUC = 0.89, sensitivity = 0.88, specificity = 0.86). CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES MH-MEP was well-correlated with dysphagia severity assessed by VFSS. The rMT ratio and amplitude ratio of MH-MEP can effectively predict persistent dysphagia 3 months poststroke.

Abstract
Although the modified balloon dilatation therapy has been demonstrated to improve pharyngeal swallowing function post stroke, the underlying neural mechanisms of improvement are unknown. Our aims are (1) to investigate the effect of modified balloon dilatation on the excitability of corticobulbar projections to the submental muscle in dysphagic patients with brainstem stroke and (2) the relation between changes in excitability and pharyngeal kinematic modifications. Thirty patients with upper esophageal sphincter (UES) dysfunction due to unilateral brainstem stroke were recruited into two groups. The patients in dilatation group received modified balloon dilatation and conventional therapies, and those in control were only treated by conventional therapies (twice per day). The amplitudes of bilateral submental motor evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulations over bilateral motor cortex, diameters of UES opening (UOD) and maximal displacement of hyoid (HD) were all assessed at baseline and the endpoint of treatments. Repeated ANOVA analysis revealed significant main effect of group, time and MEP laterality on MEP amplitudes (p = 0.02). There were no differences in the pretreatment measures between groups (all p > 0.05). After treatment, the amplitudes of affected submental MEP evoked by ipsilateral cortical pulse as well as UOD and HD were significantly different in dilatation group compared to control (amplitude: p = 0.02, UOD: p < 0.001, HD: p = 0.03). The differences of pre- and post-treatment amplitudes of the affected MEP evoked by ipsilateral stimulation showed a positive correlation with the improvement of HD (dilatation: R 2 = 0.51, p = 0.03; control: R 2 = 0.39, p = 0.01), rather than UOD in both groups (all p > 0.05). In conclusion, modified balloon dilatation therapy can increase the excitability of affected projection in patients with unilateral brainstem stroke.

Abstract
Changes to swallowing affect most people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Changes may not initially exercise a decisive impact, but can later pose significant threats to nutritional, hydration and respiratory health and psychosocial quality of life. This review, from a largely clinical viewpoint, outlines the nature of changes in PD and considers the issue of how many people are affected and in what ways. It outlines main approaches to assessment and management, with an emphasis on aspects relevant to PD. Dysphagia contributes to drooling in PD. The review therefore also touches on the nature and management of this condition that has its own set of health and psychosocial quality-of-life issues.

Abstract
Research using animal models has contributed significantly to realizing the goal of understanding dysfunction and improving the care of patients who suffer from dysphagia. But why should other researchers and the clinicians who see patients day in and day out care about this work? Results from studies of animal models have the potential to change and grow how we think about dysphagia research and practice in general, well beyond applying specific results to human studies. Animal research provides two key contributions to our understanding of dysphagia. The first is a more complete characterization of the physiology of both normal and pathological swallow than is possible in human subjects. The second is suggesting of specific, physiological, targets for development and testing of treatment interventions to improve dysphagia outcomes.

Abstract
Swallowing dysfunction is common after stroke. More than 50% of the 665 thousand stroke survivors will experience dysphagia acutely of which approximately 80 thousand will experience persistent dysphagia at 6 months. The physiologic impairments that result in post-stroke dysphagia are varied. This review focuses primarily on well-established dysphagia treatments in the context of the physiologic impairments they treat. Traditional dysphagia therapies including volume and texture modifications, strategies such as chin tuck, head tilt, head turn, effortful swallow, supraglottic swallow, super-supraglottic swallow, Mendelsohn maneuver and exercises such as the Shaker exercise and Masako (tongue hold) maneuver are discussed. Other more recent treatment interventions are discussed in the context of the evidence available.
