Abstract
Significance Humans have the most elaborate facial expressions, controlled by muscle networks anchored at distinct sites within the facial skin. Here, we reveal how muscle networks assemble robustly, adapting to external perturbations and insults, using avian intradermal muscle networks as a model. The muscle network is established with simple, local rules. Muscle fibers extend from feather buds in every direction, and connect to nearest...
