Blink reflex excitability recovery curves in patients with dysfunctions after facial nerve palsyK Nakamura
Department of Otolaryngology, University of Tokushima School of Medicine, Tokushima, Japan
ORL J Otorhinolaryngol Relat Spec 61:10-5. 1999..It is suggested that not only changes in the peripheral facial nerve but also changes in the central nervous system may contribute to the onset of PPFD...
