Facial Nerve Paralysis Treatment and Research

Evaluation of distal facial nerve branches contribution to facial nerve paralysis in rodents

This study evaluates the contribution of buccal and marginal mandibular facial nerve branches to paralysis in rodents and identifies morphological changes in neuromuscular junctions.

FaPDA: Facial paralysis detection algorithm applied in mice

The paper develops an algorithm to automatically detect facial paralysis in mice using video recordings and correlates it with cortical electrophysiological activity.

Learning from Machine Learning: advancing from static to dynamic facial function quantification

This study evaluates an open-source Python machine learning algorithm for facial landmark tracking in facial palsy patients using images and videos, finding video analysis provides more accurate results than image analysis.

Transgenic mouse facial nerve model of synkinesis

This study uses a transgenic mouse model to investigate the role of Schwann cell de-differentiation in facial nerve synkinesis, finding that inhibiting reactive Schwann cells worsens synkinesis.
