Article Synopsis
- A newly observed phenomenon called the oculoglossal phenomenon involves the involuntary movement of the tongue to the same side as voluntary eye movements, offering insights into brainstem function.
- In an observational study conducted with 60 participants, 83.3% displayed this reflex when instructed to move their eyes and tongue simultaneously.
- The proposed anatomical pathway for this phenomenon begins in the frontal cortex and involves several brainstem structures, suggesting it may be a valuable addition to neurological evaluations if further validated.
