Abstract
Yawning is a stereotypical behavior consisting of inspiration, characterized by marked dilatation of the pharynx and spontaneous facial movement, followed by passive expiration. Yawn associated spontaneous movement of an otherwise hemiplegic limb are commonly observed after stroke, referred to as “associated reactions”; only recently has the yawn begun received greater attention in the literature. Structural basis of this associated reaction and the timecourse of this behavior may provide clues to better understanding how neural reorganization takes place after stroke.
