Figure 4.

Average fibrillation-related whisker movement ratings ipsilateral to facial nerve resection across the post-surgical period. Ratings were made on a continuous scale of whisker movement ranging from “none” (score 0), to “moderate” (score 50) to “high” (score 100). The visible appearance of fibrillation-related movements decreased over time (N=10), but increased again within one or two weeks after ION transection, as shown in the far right data point (N=6).
