(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons and paralysis of the muscles they ...
Evaluating the roles spinal plasticity and an accessory inspiratory muscle have in a rodent model of respiratory motor neuron death
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Death by ventilatory failure most frequently occurs in patients with neuromuscular diseases in which there is a loss of respiratory motor neurons. There are currently no significant treatments to prolong or correct for ...
The effect of isometric tongue exercise in a novel rodent model of dysphagia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The tongue plays a crucial role in the swallowing process and impairment can lead to dysphagia, particularly in neurological conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's Disease, and stroke. This ...
