Every face is unique. Genetics helps to determine our features, but sometimes genes have errors, which, in early fetal development, can result in babies with facial differences such as a cleft lip or ...

By tracking neural crest cells in catshark embryos, researchers discovered that the molecular toolkit behind face-building is ...

Every human face is unique, allowing us to distinguish between individuals. We know little about how facial features are encoded in our DNA, but we may be able to learn more about how our faces ...

Researchers have uncovered genetic elements that drive the rapid development of marsupials’ facial features. The study in fat-tailed dunnarts, native to Australia, is published today in eLife as the ...

Adults typically exhibit right hemispheric dominance in the processing of faces. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated age-dependent changes in face processing lateralization from infancy to ...

This editorial introduces a broad Collection of works highlighting the central role of faces, the richest and most complex of social stimuli, in human behaviour. The Collection covers work from ...
