Variation at genes influencing facial morphology are not associated with developmental imprecision in human faces. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Facial asymmetries are commonly used as a proxy for human developmental imprecision resulting from inbreeding, and thus reduced genetic heterozygosity. Several environmental factors influence human facial asymmetry (e.g., health care, parasites), but the

Consistent left gaze bias in processing different facial cues [PDF]
, 2011 While viewing faces, humans often demonstrate a natural gaze bias towards the left visual field, that is, the right side of the viewee’s face is often inspected first and for longer periods.

Factors affecting the perception of 3D facial symmetry from 2D projections [PDF]
, 2017 Facial symmetry is believed to have an evolutionary significance and so its detection should be robust in natural settings. Previous studies of facial symmetry detection have used front views of faces where the decision could be made on 2D image ...

Virtual character facial expressions influence human brain and facial EMG activity in a decision-making game [PDF]
, 2018 We examined the effects of the emotional facial expressions of a virtual character (VC) on human frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) asymmetry (putatively indexing approach/withdrawal motivation), facial electromyographic (EMG) activity (emotional ...

Dual nerve transfer for facial reanimation
Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2021 The facial nerve is the 7th cranial nerve and carries nerve fibers which control facial movement and expression. This nerve also carries fibers that are involved for the production of taste from the anterior 2/3rd of the tongue and tears from the ...

Translational genetic modelling of 3D craniofacial dysmorphology: elaborating the facial phenotype of neurodevelopmental disorders through the prism of schizophrenia [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose of Review: In the context of human developmental conditions, we review the conceptualisation of schizophrenia as a neurodevelopmental disorder, the status of craniofacial dysmorphology as a clinically accessible index of brain ...

Facial Flap Repositioning in Posttraumatic Facial Asymmetry [PDF]
Archives of Craniofacial Surgery, 2016 Perfect facial and body symmetry is an important aesthetic concept which is very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. Yet, facial asymmetries are commonly encountered by plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Here, we present a case of posttraumatic facial asymmetry successfully treated with a unique concept of facial flap repositioning.

Hemi-field memory for attractiveness [PDF]
, 2003 In order to determine whether or not facial attractiveness plays a role in hemispheric facial memory, 35 right-handed participants first assigned attractiveness ratings to faces and then performed a recognition test on those faces in the left visual half-

Three-dimensional superimposition for patients with facial palsy: an innovative method for assessing the success of facial reanimation procedures [PDF]
, 2018 Facial palsy is a severe condition that may be ameliorated by facial reanimation, but there is no consensus about how to judge its success. In this study we aimed to test a new method for assessing facial movements based on 3-dimensional analysis of the ...
