Physical Rehabilitation of Paralysed Facial Muscles: Functional and Morphological Correlates

Using a combined morpho-functional approach the author found that polyinnervation of the neuro-muscular juction (NMJ) is the critical factor for recovery of function after transection and suture of the facial nerve. Since polyinnervation is activity-dependent and can be manipulated, the author tried...
