Figure 1

Representative cross-sectional histology of nerve specimen stained with neurofilament from final endpoint of 15 weeks. White arrows denote evidence of regenerating nerve fiber. Facial nerve main trunk (MT) is demonstrated for (A) motor isograft group, (B) sensory isograft group, (C) intact group, and (D) gap defect group. Marginal mandibular (MM) nerve histology is demonstrated for (E) motor isograft group, (F) sensory isograft group, (G) intact group, and (H) gap defect group. Main image is imaged at 20X magnification and representative inset images are imaged at 40X magnification. Scale bars are 200 µm uniformly.
