Contribution of the glossopharyngeal nerve in imidapril-mediated enhancement of the swallowing reflex in rats. (PubMed, J Oral Biosci) - May 31, 2026 - "Enhancement of swallowing burst amplitude was abolished following bilateral glossopharyngeal nerve transection, whereas enhancement persisted after bilateral superior laryngeal nerve transection. These findings suggest that the glossopharyngeal nerve is essential for imidapril-enhanced swallowing. The results provide insights into the neural mechanisms underlying modulation of the swallowing reflex by pharmacological agents."
