What a fascinating article I just stumbled upon. I am trained in medicine and know very little about particle physics. I just wanted to point out that facial hemiparesis ipsilateral to the injured side is perfectly plausible if the injury is of the cranial nerve at any point starting at its nucleus in the brainstem or distally. It is quite likely a peripheral nerve lesion, falling entirely outside the central nervous system.
