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 ...

Aiming for the stomach and hitting the heart: dissociable triggers and sources for disgust reactions. [PDF]
Disgust reactions can be elicited using stimuli that engender orogastric rejection (e.g., pus and vomit; core disgust stimuli) but also using images of bloody injuries or medical procedures (e.g., surgeries; blood [body] boundary violation [B-BV] disgust

The CXCR4/SDF-1 Axis in the Development of Facial Expression and Non-somitic Neck Muscles
Trunk and head muscles originate from distinct embryonic regions: while the trunk muscles derive from the paraxial mesoderm that becomes segmented into somites, the majority of head muscles develops from the unsegmented cranial paraxial mesoderm ...
