Abstract

The discovery of the brain's mirror neuron system enables researchers to gain a deeper understanding of social cognitive activities from the level of neural mechanisms. Mirror neurons are situated in bilateral brain regions, overlapping with the swallowing neural network, and there are complex network pathways connecting the two. Repeatedly inducing the activation of mirror neurons in stroke patients can enhance the brain's ability to relearn its original swallowing function, and then restore the swallowing neural network. With the deepening of related studies, rehabilitation therapies based on the mirror neuron system have been discussed and explored by numerous scholars and applied to the rehabilitation of dysphagia after stroke. In this paper, we review the basic theory of mirror neuron system, its mechanism, its relevance to the swallowing neural network, and the clinical application and research progress of related rehabilitation therapies in stroke dysphagia, with a view to triggering relevant researchers to comprehend and innovate the rehabilitation of dysphagia after stroke.

镜像神经元系统在脑卒中后吞咽困难中的基本理论与应用。

大脑镜像神经元系统的发现，使研究人员能够从神经机制层面对社会认知活动有更深入的了解。镜像神经元位于双侧大脑区域，与吞咽神经网络重叠，两者之间有复杂的网络通路连接。反复诱导脑卒中患者镜像神经元的激活，可以增强大脑对原有吞咽功能的重新学习能力，进而恢复吞咽神经网络。随着相关研究的深入，基于镜像神经元系统的康复疗法已被众多学者讨论和探索，并应用于脑卒中后吞咽困难的康复。本文就镜像神经元系统的基本理论、作用机制、与吞咽神经网络的相关性以及相关康复治疗在脑卒中吞咽困难中的临床应用和研究进展进行综述，以期引发相关研究者对脑卒中后吞咽困难康复的认识和创新。

期刊介绍： Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics.
