Zusammenfassung

Introduction: The esophagus plays a major role in the act of swallowing. The aim of the present investigation was to apply whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG) in order to study the cortical processing of esophageal sensation in healthy humans in whom the cortical representation of swallowing had been established previously. Methods: The proximal esophagus was stimulated in 9 subjects by intermittent 5ml water infusion. Submental EMG recording was used to identify trials, which were contaminated by subsequent swallowing. Results: Esophageal stimulation led to changes in rhythmic activity of the brain that was…
