Fascia of the Tongue

Topic: "Fascia of the tongue - from physics to psyche"

The fascia of the tongue is the muscle layer that surrounds the tongue and makes it mobile and flexible. This layer plays an important role in various speech acts, such as pronouncing sounds, reading or writing. Recent research indicates that the fascia of the tongue also has connections with mental processes such as emotional expression, attention, perception and even memory. In this article, we look at some of these connections and describe how physiological changes in the tongue fascia can affect mental state and behavior.

Physiology of fascia: from rhythmic activity to mobility In the course of their research, scientists have discovered that the fascial system works cyclically, providing rhythmic activity and stability of muscle fibers. This activity changes the speed and degree of muscle contraction, creating dynamic and stable tissue. One of the key things about fascia is how well it stretches and contracts. The fascia reacts to tension as much as possible, but to compression it slows down and weakens its function. Thanks to these qualities, the fascia allows for a wide range of movements, including even subtle articulatory movements of the tongue.

The Role of Fascia in Language and Mental Processes Research on the fascia suggests that its structural and functional role goes far beyond supporting the motor organs of speech, as it seems at first glance. In particular, the scientists found that primary language involves nerve centers in the brain stem that are thought to be associated with changes in mood and emotional expression. A physiological approach to language shows that these influence processes occur through reflexive control of fascia and muscle activity. Fascial stretching and relaxation can be considered a form of psychotherapy to reduce stress, improve focus, and relieve tension. Scientific experiments in this area show that controlling tension in the tongue can help increase muscle tone and energy support for activity in the speech system.

Research also shows that by understanding the relationship between physics, emotion and language, mechanisms for preventing and treating speech disorders can be improved. Specific examples include slow speech, pronunciation problems, hearing loss in adults, or the need to understand the needs of different age groups. In addition, changing the structure and function of the fascia by training and working these muscles helps improve attention, memory, mood and communication skills. These results open up new
