Face, brain development tightly linked, study finds
Face, brain development tightly linked, study finds
Researchers at Stanford and KU Leuven have identified more than 70 genes that affect variation in both brain and facial structure. The genes don't influence cognitive ability, further debunking beliefs that intelligence can be assessed by facial features.

--the shape of your face and your brain are genetically linked more closely than had been previously thought, the study reports.
"Surprisingly, some of these genes are only known to be expressed in the face, and don't have any known role or expression in the brain. So this implies that in addition to the brain influencing the facial shape, the face itself also affects the brain structure."
