Published in 2017 at "Neuroscience"

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2017.10.019

Abstract: In brainstem motor networks, hypoglossal motoneurons (HMs) play the physiological role of driving tongue contraction, an activity critical for inspiration, phonation, chewing and swallowing. HMs are an early target of neurodegenerative diseases like amyotrophic lateral… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Frontiers in Neurology"

DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2018.00962

Abstract: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a prevalent condition and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Western Society. The loss of motor input to the tongue and specifically to the genioglossus muscle during sleep… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience"

DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2018.00416

Abstract: Mammalian brainstem hypoglossal motoneurones (HMs) receive powerful synaptic glycinergic inputs and are involved in a variety of motor functions, including respiration, chewing, sucking, swallowing, and phonation. During the early postnatal development, subunit composition of chloride-permeable… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Physiology"

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.955566

Abstract: Oscillations in membrane potential induced by synaptic inputs and intrinsic ion channel activity play a role in regulating neuronal excitability, but the precise mechanisms underlying their contributions remain largely unknown. Here we used electrophysiological and… read more here.
