Extraocular Motor System Exhibits a Higher Expression of Neurotrophins When Compared with Other Brainstem Motor Systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Extraocular motoneurons resist degeneration in diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The main objective of the present work was to characterize the presence of neurotrophins in extraocular motoneurons and muscles of the adult rat.

The perception and mimicry of facial movements predict judgments of smile authenticity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The mechanisms through which people perceive different types of smiles and judge their authenticity remain unclear. Here, 19 different types of smiles were created based on the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), using highly controlled, dynamic avatar ...

SOMATOTOPY OF THE FACIAL NUCLEUS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS WITH CLINICAL REMARKS [PDF]

open access: yesEuromediterranean Biomedical Journal, 2023
Stemming from our previous studies regarding somatotopy of the spinal cord, oculomotor complex and trigeminal complex, we developed this study of the somatotopy of facial nuclei to compare the musculotopic organization of the facial nucleus in different ...

Thermal Analysis of Facial Muscles Contractions

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Affective Computing, 2011
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.

The Technique of Optimal Use of Facial Muscles in Trumpet Interpretation

open access: yesReview of Artistic Education, 2019
Facial muscles have an overwhelming importance in obtaining a special sonority, a perfect instrumental technique. In fact, through their vibration all sonority is produced by these muscles, and the level of professionalism one can reach depends on their ...

Magnetic resonance imaging of facial muscles

open access: yesClinical Radiology, 2007
Facial and tongue muscles are commonly involved in patients with neuromuscular disorders. However, these muscles are not as easily accessible for biopsy and pathological examination as limb muscles. We have previously investigated myasthenia gravis patients with MuSK antibodies for facial and tongue muscle atrophy using different magnetic resonance ...
