Mechanisms of synkinesis [PDF]
The Laryngoscope, 1979 AbstractWhen the facial nerve is injured, changes occur in muscle, proximal nerve, distal nerve, and the cell body in the nucleus. All of these changes contribute to the quality of regeneration and repair. This paper describes the usual processes of neuronal regeneration with the objective of a better understanding of why some injuries inevitably ...
