Ventricular fold adduction appears to be a result of ventricularis muscle contraction that is mediated by the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

The TA muscle is directly cross-innervated by a branch of the eSLN in the porcine model. This finding may have implications regarding possible future laryngeal pacing strategies and could be a target nerve for rehabilitation.

The GCF obtained during isolated eSLN stimulation is adequate for delivery of an appropriate laryngeal protective response and may be considered a target motor nerve for augmenting GCF in selected rehab settings.

We identified the specific neural pathway involved in the PP's GCR-like pathway. We also noted a variable direct pattern of innervation to the TA.
