Precise knowledge of the nerve supply of the corrugator supercilii muscle (CSM) is a prerequisite for performing a selective denervation of the CSM. The authors' goal was to determine the course and variability of the motor nerves of the CSM in relation to fixed orbital landmarks. The facial nerve branches toward the CSM were identified during microscopic dissection of 9 Caucasian formaldehyde-fixed cadaver half-heads. The distances between the branches and defined landmarks were measured. All branches to the transverse head of the CSM ran between 15 and 32 mm superior to the lateral orbital margin. Medially the CSM was supplied by a superficial zygomatic, buccal, or bucco-zygomatic branch, which was much smaller than the temporal branches. This branch ran 4 to 7 mm medial to the medial canthus. This anatomical knowledge can be applied for surgical denervation of the corrugator supercilii muscle. The authors suggest a surgical procedure for corrugator denervation through a blepharoplasty incision.

The influence of repeated frowning and smiling on corrugator muscle activity and wrinkles between eyebrows.

Like the lines themselves, concerns about facial wrinkles, particularly glabellar lines - the prominent furrows between the eyebrows - intensify with age. These lines can inadvertently convey negative emotions due to their association with negative facial expressions. We investigated the effects of repeated frowning on the development of temporary glabellar lines through the activation of the corrugator muscle.

Glabellar filler injections are a popular non-surgical approach to address depressions and wrinkles caused by aging, muscle activity, and soft tissue loss. An anatomy-based technique emphasizes understanding the complex structure of the glabellar region, including the corrugator supercilii and procerus muscles, and the superficial vascular pathways, such as the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries. Effective treatment involves precise filler placement, often combined with botulinum toxin to address both volume loss and dynamic wrinkles.

Facial mimicry of visually observed emotional facial actions is a robust phenomenon. Here, we examined whether such facial mimicry extends to auditory emotional stimuli. We also examined if participants' facial responses differ to sounds that are more strongly associated with congruent facial movements, such as vocal emotional expressions (e.

Introduction: Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are thought to experience specific biosocial vulnerabilities that give rise to a maladaptive negativity bias in the perception and expression of emotions. However, while this negative bias has been identified in adults with full threshold BPD or high BPD features, it is unclear whether it is evident earlier in the course of the disorder - that being, young persons with first-presentation BPD meeting three or more BPD features, as defined by early intervention models.
Methods: The current study compared patterns of facial responding in individuals aged 15-25 years first presenting to a specialist outpatient service with three or more BPD features (n = 32) to age-matched healthy controls (n = 46).

Background: The brow area is an important aesthetic unit. Accurate anatomical understanding of the brow is important for clinical treatments related to this region. Due to the complexity of the brow area and limitations of methods, there are still some controversies regarding its musculature description.
