Acute and Chronic Effects of Artificial Rearing on Rat Genioglossus Muscle
… critical during the early neonatal period. The genioglossus (GG) muscle in rat plays an important role in protruding the tongue for efficient suckling. The purpose of this study was to examine the contractile properties and myosin heavy chain (MHC) phenotype of the GG following an early period …

Muscle Architecture and Structural Model of the Human Tongue
… of ""unknown muscles"" was found hidden in the genioglossus. Their bundles were orthogonal to the genioglossus bundles, but did not connect with the hyoglossus or inferior lingualis. Further, the computational structural models of the human tongue were developed in surface meshes and tetrahedral …

Simulation of tongue muscle deformation
… connected styloglossus, hyoglossus, and genioglossus fibers.

A computational neuromuscular model of the human upper airway with application to the study of obstructive sleep apnoea
… a particular focus being placed to that of the genioglossus. It is demonstrated that, when a time-dependent loading is applied to the tongue, the neural model is able to control the position of the tongue and produce a physiologically realistic response for the genioglossus. A comparison is then …

Modulation of Hypoglossal Motoneurons by Nitric Oxide
… The hypoglossal motor nucleus (HMN) controls genioglossus muscle tone and is critically important for maintaining airway patency; loss of excitatory input to the HMN during sleep results in disfacilitation of hypoglossal motoneurons, increased airway resistance and contributes to the …

The effect of isometric tongue exercise in a novel rodent model of dysphagia
… model was created by injecting a toxin into the genioglossus muscle of the tongue for selective death of motor neurons in the hypoglossal nucleus, a brainstem region that directly innervates the tongue via the hypoglossal nerve. Our goal is to investigate the effect of tongue exercise on tongue …

Face Motor Cortex Neuroplasticity Associated with Alterations in the Oral Environment of the Adult Rat
… motor representations of tongue-protrusion (genioglossus, GG) and jaw-opening (anterior-digastric, AD) muscles within face-M1 and adjacent face primary somatosensory cortex (face-S1) following trimming or extraction of the rat’s right mandibular incisor, or a change in diet consistency. ICMS …

Intramural mechanics in the human tongue
… intrinsic muscles and the posteriorly located genioglossus and hyoglossus muscles. For bolus propulsion, strain findings were consistent with posterior passive stretch in the midline due to contractions of the laterally inserted styloglossus muscle, as well as contraction of posteriorly located …
