Abstract

Some of the factors involved in the control of tongue position have been investigated. The electromyographic activity reported here provides evidence that genioglossus, the protrusive muscle of the tongue, is under the control of physiological processes associated with respiration, jaw movements, and swallowing. Additional studies are in progress to define further the neutral mechanisms underlying these effects.
