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 eye closure stimulated by a “puff” stimulation and whisking at the same time. Nerve reconstruction was performed on the right side of the animal. (a) Position of the eyelids before starting the air puff. (b) Cocontraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle and vibrissal muscle during air puff stimulation.</div>
