Enhancing Neural Activation in Older Adults: Action Observation-Primed Swallowing Imagery Reveals Age-Related Connectivity Patterns

Aging-related swallowing decline, known as presbyphagia, significantly increases the risk of dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia in older adults. Enhancing cortical activation and functional connectivity through non-invasive methods is crucial for improving swallowing function. This study investigate...
