Assessing facial nerve function from visible facial signs such as resting asymmetry and
symmetry of voluntary movement is an important means in clinical practice. By using image …

Insufficient recovery after injury of a peripheral motor nerve is due to (1) inappropriate
pathfinding as a result of axonal regrowth to inappropriate targets,(2) excessive collateral …

Background: Facial palsy is a devastating condition potentially amenable to rehabilitation by
functional electrical stimulation. Herein, a novel paradigm for unilateral facial reanimation …

The rhinarium is the rostral‐most area of the snout that surrounds the nostrils, and is hairless
in most mammals. In rodents, it participates in coordinated behaviors, active tactile sensing …

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) show promise in various medical
domains, including medical imaging, precise diagnoses, and pharmaceutical research. In …

Background The two-dimensional videographic analysis of vibrissal movements in behaving
rodents has become a standard method to estimate the degree of functional impairment and …

Introduction: We previously have shown that manual stimulation (MS) of vibrissal muscles for
2 months after facial nerve injury in rats improves whisking and reduces motor end plate …

This paper presents a high-speed rat whisker tracking and symmetry analysis system based
on FPGA. The system utilizes high-speed image sensors recording rat face videos at 120 …
