The velar chord and dynamic integration of the gular valve in crocodylians

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Crocodilians have a unique gular valve that forms a seal between the oral cavity and the pharynx. The gular valve has traditionally been treated as two parts: a mobile ventral flap associated with the tongue and a fixed dorsal velum palatini. This work describes a connective tissue band, the velar chord, which functionally integrates the two parts of ...

Exposed weapons: A revised reconstruction of the facial anatomy and life appearance of the saber‐toothed cat Megantereon (Felidae, Machairodontinae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...

Linking individual variation in facial musculature to facial behavior in rhesus macaques

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expression is a key component of primate communication, and primates (including humans) have a complex system of facial musculature underpinning this behavior. Human facial musculature is highly variable across individuals, but to date, whether other primate species exhibit a similar level of inter‐individual variation is unknown ...

Acoustic Features of Airway Protective Maneuvers as Biomarkers of Radiation‐Associated Dysphagia and Penetration/Aspiration in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed at identifying acoustic features of airway protective maneuvers as biomarkers of radiation‐associated dysphagia, involving penetration/aspiration and pharyngeal residue. Methods Temporal and spectral acoustical analyses were carried out on voluntary coughs, voluntary throat clearings, and reflexive coughs.
