Summary
This study tested whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation under the chin could change how the brain controls swallowing. Ten healthy adults without swallowing problems received the stimulation while researchers measured brain signals and swallowing speed. The goal was to understand if this simple technique might one day help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke.
