Hypoglossal-Facial Nerve Reconstruction Using a Y-Tube-Conduit Reduces Aberrant Synkinetic Movements of the Orbicularis Oculi and Vibrissal Muscles in Rats

<div>Consecutive frames of a video material showing synkinetic movement of the eyelid during whisking. Nerve reconstruction was performed on the right side of the animal. (a) Position of the vibrissal hairs and eyelid at rest. (b) Cocontraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle during exploratory whisking (protraction) of the vibrissal hairs.</div>
