Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled “Physiology of Swallowing: Pharyngeal and Laryngeal Mechanisms” in the Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, Hearing and Balance Medicine, an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal, which provides an advanced forum for studies on all aspects of otorhinolaryngology. The journal will join other successful international journals, with the aim of promoting knowledge and important new findings. Though this is a young new journal, we expect rapid and exponential growth, as other new journals have achieved through the MDPI platform.
This special edition will accept original research articles and comprehensive review manuscripts which address the pharyngeal and/or laryngeal mechanisms of the physiology of swallowing. The physiological mechanisms include the motor responses of pharynx and larynx; motor, sensory, and central neural responses; and neurochemical responses. Manuscripts which address differences in swallowing physiology regarding the type or volume of the bolus, and developmental stage or age of the individual will be accepted. In addition, these studies may also address developmental mechanisms of the physiological processes. Manuscripts will be accepted based on human or animal studies, but the animal studies must address physiological mechanisms similar to humans. All accepted manuscripts will be published after a thorough peer review process.
Prof. Dr. Ivan M. Lang
Guest Editor
