אודות פרק זה
Join coauthor Chloe Edmonds in this insightful episode as she delves into her recently published paper, "The Effects of Simulated Gastroesophageal Reflux on Infant Pig Oropharyngeal Feeding Physiology." Chloe explores how simulating gastroesophageal reflux in an infant pig model reveals significant alterations in pharyngeal swallowing dynamics. Discover how the integration of esophageal afferents impacts motor outputs to the pharynx, leading to decreased swallow frequency and increased bolus sizes. This research not only sheds light on the mechanisms behind esophageal pathologies and oropharyngeal dysphagia but also highlights the potential for developing intervention strategies grounded in neurophysiology. Tune in for a deep dive into the implications of this work for both animal models and clinical practice!
