2023 - New paper from Ross-Hatsopoulos Lab Collaboration
Multiple regions of primate orofacial sensorimotor cortex encode bite force and gape.
This paper just out from the Ross-Hatsopoulos collaboration funded by R01 "Neuroplasticity and the role of sensorimotor cortex in control of orofacial function”. R01DE023816-01.

2023 - Dysphagia Review: Biomechanical and Cortical Control of Tongue Movements During Chewing and Swallowing
Biomechanical and Cortical Control of Tongue Movements During Chewing and Swallowing
Callum F. Ross, J. D. Laurence-Chasen, Peishu Li, Courtney Orsbon & Nicholas G. Hatsopoulos
This review of biomechanical and cortical control of the tongue is just out in Dysphagia! Based in part on dissertation work by JD Laurence-Chasen, Courtney Orsbon, and Peishu Li, this is another output from the Ross/Hatsopoulos collaboration on neural control of orofacial behaviors.
2023 - Ross-Hatsopoulos Lab paper
Robust cortical encoding of 3D tongue shape during feeding in macaques
This new paper from the long-standing Ross-Hatsopoulos Lab collaboration was based on JD Laurence-Chasen's dissertation. This is the first evidence that the brain encodes shape dynamics of a muscular soft-body. Great work, JD!
