Evolution of facial muscle anatomy in dogs [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 SignificanceDogs were shaped during the course of domestication both in their behavior and in their anatomical features. Here we show that domestication transformed the facial muscle anatomy of dogs specifically for facial communication with humans. A muscle responsible for raising the inner eyebrow intensely is uniformly present in dogs but not in ...

Effect of a Facial Muscle Exercise Device on Facial Rejuvenation. [PDF]
Aesthet Surg J, 2018 The efficacy of facial muscle exercises (FMEs) for facial rejuvenation is controversial. In the majority of previous studies, nonquantitative assessment tools were used to assess the benefits of FMEs.This study examined the effectiveness of FMEs using a Pao (MTG, Nagoya, Japan) device to quantify facial rejuvenation.Fifty females were asked to perform ...
