Although the posterior oral cavity and oropharynx play a major role in swallowing, their central representation is poorly understood. High-field functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was used to study the central processing of brief air-pulse

Hemispheric asymmetry is known for higher brain functions like language and attention. We tested whether such an asymmetry also exists in the representation of elementary sensory functions. Magnetic source imaging was used to compare the cortical somatose
Neuropsychological studies have demonstrated that the production of nouns and verbs can be dissociated in aphasia. These reports have been taken as evidence for separate representations of nouns and verbs in the human brain. We used whole-head magnetoence

Activation of the auditory cortex habituates with repeated stimulation. While behaviorally adaptive in most circumstances, decreasing auditory responsiveness could interfere with speech perception. We therefore tested whether auditory habituation differs
To investigate the neural network of overt speech production, event-related fMRI was performed in 9 young healthy adult volunteers. A clustered image acquisition technique was chosen to minimize speech-related movement artifacts. Functional images were ac
