Summary
This study looked at 16 people with severe facial paralysis to see how their brains process facial movements and emotions before and after reconstructive surgery. Using a non-invasive brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG), researchers measured brain activity during motor and emotion recognition tasks. The goal was to understand brain plasticity and how surgery might restore emotional perception.
