    Summary

    Altering infant primate masticatory muscle attachments significantly changed craniofacial growth. This study demonstrates that modifying muscle insertions can alter skeletal development patterns.

    Muscles for Facial Expressions

    The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...
