Thermal Analysis of Facial Muscles Contractions
Facial expressions can be systematically coded using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) that describes the specific action unit (AU) or combination of AUs elicited during different kinds of expressions. This study investigated the thermal patterns concomitant to specific action units performance.

Congenital partial absence of the facial muscles
Facial asymmetry in a newborn infant suggests various diagnoses, including birth trauma and congenital hemifacial microsomia. But congenital absence or hypoplasia of facial muscles has not been known except for the depressor anguli oris muscle (DAOM). The authors' experience with surgical treatment of congenital hypoplasia of the risorius, zygomaticus ...

Effect of a Facial Muscle Exercise Device on Facial Rejuvenation [PDF]
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 ...

Evolution of facial muscle anatomy in dogs [PDF]
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 ...

Functional characterization of orbicularis oculi and extraocular muscles [PDF]
The orbicularis oculi are the sphincter muscles of the eyelids and are involved in modulating facial expression. They differ from both limb and extraocular muscles (EOMs) in their histology and biochemistry. Weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscles is a

Axonal mapping of the motor cranial nerves
Basic behaviors, such as swallowing, speech, and emotional expressions are the result of a highly coordinated interplay between multiple muscles of the head. Control mechanisms of such highly tuned movements remain poorly understood.

Motor-Incompatibility of Facial Reactions : The influence of valence and stimulus content on voluntary facial reactions [PDF]
Emotional cues facilitate motor responses that are associated with approach or avoidance. Previous research has shown that evaluative processing of positive and negative facial expression stimuli is also linked to motor schemata of facial muscles.
