SUMMARY:Mechanoreceptors and laryngeal motor control-Why such a touchy
  subject?\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Michael J. Hammer\, UW D
 epartment of Surgery/Division of Otolaryngology
DESCRIPTION:The larynx is essential for many of life's essential and e
 legant actions such as breathing\, airway protection\, and voice. Neur
 al control of the larynx for these actions is aided by mechanoreceptor
 s within the laryngeal mucosa. These mechanoreceptors enable the centr
 al nervous system to monitor the position and movement of the larynx\,
  the pressure and flow of respiratory air\, and provide a surveillance
  system to protect the airway from aspiration. However\, much remains 
 unknown about neural control of the larynx and the role of mechanorece
 ptors in these activities. Therefore\, we have developed new technolog
 y to define how mechanosensory mechanisms are associated with laryngea
 l control\, are affected by neurodegenerative disease\, and can be imp
 roved with neurorehabilitation.
