The neuromuscular junction becomes progressively less receptive to regenerating axons if
nerve repair is delayed for a long period of time. It is difficult to ascertain the denervated …

Injury to the facial nerve can occur after different etiologies and range from simple
transection of the branches to varying degrees of segmental loss. Management depends on …

The number of studies on trigeminal nerve injury using animal models remains limited. A
rodent model of trigeminal neuropathic pain was first developed in 1994, in which chronic …

The cortex modulates activity in superior colliculus via a direct projection. What is largely
unknown is whether (and if so how) the superior colliculus modulates activity in the cortex …

Facial paralysis can result in severe implications for the patients. However, stem cell biology
has become an important field in regenerative medicine since the discovery and …

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

This research evaluated the influence of Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) on lesions of
the facial nerve repaired with the end-to-side technique or coaptation with a new …

Neocortical sensory areas have associated primary and secondary thalamic nuclei. While
primary nuclei transmit sensory information to cortex, secondary nuclei remain poorly …

The surgical redirection of efferent neural input to a denervated muscle via a nerve transfer
can reestablish neuromuscular control after nerve injuries. The role of autonomic nerve …

The neocortex, comprised of multiple distinct layers, processes sensory input from the
periphery, makes decisions, and executes actions. Despite extensive investigation of cortical …
