This leads to a distinctive phenomenon where elevation of the eyelid occurs in conjunction with certain jaw movements, such as chewing or jaw opening. #oddities #stupidhumantricks #hiddentalent #medical #healthcare | Doctor Joe | Facebook

Every time this person chews, one eyelid pops open. This is winking jaw syndrome and it happens from an aberrant communication between cranial nerve 3 and 5 triggering the eyelid to open every time chewing happens. #medical #doctor #winking #winkingjaw #doctor #brain #neuro #neuroscience #science #neurosurgery | Dr.Z Neurosurgery
