Description for Stimulation of Trigeminal Afferents Improves Motor Recovery After Facial Nerve Injury
Paperback. Here, the authors test the idea that intensification of the trigeminal input to axotomized electrophysiologically silent facial motoneurons might improve the specificity of reinnervation. They found that in all cases trigeminal stimulation was beneficial. Series: Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Num Pages: 125 pages, 13 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MNN; PSAN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 10. Weight in Grams: 207.
Recovery of mimic function after facial nerve transection is poor: the successful regrowth of axotomized motoneurons to their targets is compromised by (i) poor axonal navigation and excessive collateral branching, (ii) abnormal exchange of nerve impulses between adjacent regrowing axons and (iii) insufficient synaptic input to facial motoneurons. As a result, axotomized motoneurons get hyperexcitable and unable to discharge. Since improvement of growth cone navigation and reduction of the ephaptic cross-talk between axons turn out be very difficult, the authorsa concentrated on the third detrimental component and proposed that an intensification of the trigeminal input to axotomized electrophysiologically silent facial motoneurons might improve ...
