DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2018.11.037
Abstract: BACKGROUND Schwannomas of the hypoglossal nerve are rare and account for a very small percentage of non-vestibular schwannomas. OBJECTIVES In this systematic review of the literature, we examined the epidemiology, symptomatology, management, and outcomes of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.otc.2019.09.010
Abstract: Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is a novel strategy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Its anatomy allows for easy surgical access, and its function as a motor nerve allows for tolerable neurostimulation. It has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2017.11.069
Abstract: BACKGROUND Schwannomas are benign, slow-growing neoplasms of the myelin-producing Schwann cells of peripheral nervous system that most commonly affect sensory nerves. Hypoglossal schwannomas, tumors of purely motor nerves, comprise read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00771.2021
Abstract: The activity of hypoglossal motoneurons plays a key role in the maintenance of upper airway patency. The withdrawal of noradrenergic excitatory drive and increase of cholinergic inhibition markedly decreases excitability of hypoglossal motoneurons during sleep… read more here.

DOI: 10.5535/arm.2018.42.2.352
Abstract: The hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) may be placed at risk during posterior fossa surgeries. The use of intraoperative monitoring (IOM), including the utilization of spontaneous and triggered electromyography (EMG), from tongue muscles innervated by CN… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.81978
Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by sporadic collapse of the upper airway leading to periodic disruptions in breathing. Upper airway patency governed by genioglossal nerve activity originates from the hypoglossal motor nucleus. Mice with… read more here.
