The question

Do you know where I can find more information on the dopamine feedback loop when the alveolar ridge is stimulated? I know this was discussed when I learned about tongue restrictions and oral habits, but I’d love more information.

Do you know where I can find more information on the dopamine feedback loop when the alveolar ridge is stimulated? I know this was discussed when I learned about tongue restrictions and oral habits, but I’d love more information. This is from my class. The slides have references and a link to the TOTs and MYO compendium. More details about this is in MYOTools 102. Here is one of the papers! Guerrero, C., Lecuona, E., Pesce, L., Ridge, K. M., & Sznajder, J. I. (2001). Dopamine regulates Na-K-ATPase in alveolar epithelial cells via MAPK-ERK-dependent mechanisms. American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology, 281(1), L79–L85. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajp-lung.2001.281.1.L79Robyn Merkel-Walsh, MA, CCC-SLP, COM®️
