5 Emerging Roles for Researchers in Swallowing Motility for 2026 Researchers in 2026 are focusing heavily on the "gut-brain axis" as it relates to esophageal motility. By studying how the central nervous system controls the complex coordination of the swallow, they are discovering new targets for neurological therapies. This research is leading to the development of "neuro-modulators" that can fine-tune the esophageal response to different bolus types. This...
