Masseter-to-facial nerve transfer for facial nerve reanimation

Neurosurgical Focus: Video, 2023
Smooth symmetric facial muscle function is important for social interactions. When lesions of the facial nerve occur, achieving complete restoration of balanced and spontaneous facial function can be challenging. In this video, the authors demonstrate the surgical details and long-term follow-up of a masseter-to-facial nerve transfer in a 3-year-old ...

Newly identified axon types of the facial nerve unveil supplemental neural pathways in the innervation of the face

Journal of Advanced Research, 2023
Introduction: Neuromuscular control of the facial expressions is provided exclusively via the facial nerve. Facial muscles are amongst the most finely tuned effectors in the human motor system, which coordinate facial expressions.
