Etv1 Controls the Establishment of Non-overlapping Motor Innervation of Neighboring Facial Muscles during Development [PDF]

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: The somatotopic motor-neuron projections onto their cognate target muscles are essential for coordinated movement, but how that occurs for facial motor circuits, which have critical roles in respiratory and interactive behaviors, is poorly ...

Congenital partial absence of the facial muscles

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1998
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 ...

Unveiling Novel Surgical Treatments for Facial Synkinesis: Myectomy of the Posterior Belly of Digastric and Stylohyoid Muscle [PDF]

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. Facial synkinesis manifests as involuntary muscle movements alongside volitional facial actions and is typically managed with a combination of neuromuscular retraining, botulinum toxin injections, and in some cases, selective neurectomy.

Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Volumetry of Facial Muscles in Healthy Patients with Facial Palsy

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2014
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not yet been established systematically to detect structural muscular changes after facial nerve lesion. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate quantitative assessment of MRI muscle volume data

Facial Motion Prior Networks for Facial Expression Recognition [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Deep learning based facial expression recognition (FER) has received a lot of attention in the past few years. Most of the existing deep learning based FER methods do not consider domain knowledge well, which thereby fail to extract representative ...

Facial expression recognition through muscle synergies and estimation of facial keypoint displacements through a skin-musculoskeletal model using facial sEMG signals [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The development of facial expression recognition (FER) and facial expression generation (FEG) systems is essential to enhance human-robot interactions (HRI). The facial action coding system is widely used in FER and FEG tasks, as it offers a framework to

Selective Neurectomy of the Facial Nerve with Cross-Face Nerve Graft for Treating Postparalytic Facial Nerve Syndrome [PDF]

Archives of Plastic Surgery
Although postparalytic facial nerve syndrome (PFS) is a frequent sequela of partial facial palsy, no effective treatment is currently available. Herein, we report a case of a cross-face nerve graft (CFNG) technique with selective neurectomy of the facial
