After having Botox injections in the forehead, people’s brain activity when they see images of faces showing emotion seems altered, which may mean they find it harder to interpret other people’s emotions

After having Botox injections in the forehead, people’s brains respond in a different way when they see images of faces showing emotion. This may mean they find it harder to interpret other people’s emotions because of disrupted signalling between their facial muscles and their brains.

– who works at AbbVie, which makes Botox, and at the University of California, Irvine – and his colleagues scanned the brains of 10 women aged between 33 and …

I'm glad it occurred to me a long time ago that it's a safe bet that any new unnatural food, drink or cosmetic product that isn't part of our evolutionary history will obviously lead to complications. Not that I would ever have got botox lol

From my experience and observation, women with botox are less likely to be manipulated by men. There, do a study on that. (I bet a man wrote this stupid article)

With Miracle Oral Care we don't need crazy Botox to make you look good using MOC you don't even need makeup MOC removes all lines bumps and scratches eye bags MOC enhances your beauty his PG makes people use makeup on the face, God is great one solution makes you over beautiful

Noooo.... it's the person who had the botox that can't display the proper emotions.

Well, it is harder to recognize emotions from facial expressions in people who had botox injections but I don't think that this is what is meant here.

Maybe we shouldn’t inject toxins into our bodies.

I told you so. Can't fix stupid..

As portrait painter I urge people do not alter your face as it’s like upsetting a structure. That’s why it only gets more weird the more they do it

Correlation does not mean causation.

My wife has regular Botox injections around her head, including her forehead for medical rather than cosmetic reasons. Certainly has had no experiences to support this idea.

We construct our emotions and therefore how we perceive others based on the physical reaction we experience in different situations. Change the bodies physical reaction to stimuli and it changes our perception of emotion.

You sure it isn't that people who are bad at reading emotions might be drawn to botox? How you gonna control for that in a study?

This reminds me of that study where they found that people who took painkillers found it harder to empathise with others pain:

Yes but when the inevitable facelift arrives because the muscles have been paralysed for so long the tissue sags, when they smile their ears will wiggle. A new party trick?

Who would have thought injecting Botulism for vanity reasons would end up harmful?

Will Botox will be the new excuse for narcissists & social paths🤔

Interesting.

SallyRMelb Interesting that whilst it might create this blunting of emotional interpretation & feeling, the other side of the coin is that it might help depression: “if you can’t frown, your face can’t send the same negative signals to your brain”, says Marmolejo-Ramos.

Botox. The gift that keeps on giving...

Hollywood is in trouble then.

*whistles* I might have this problem and I have not ever gotten botox. 3 3 3 3 3 3 {^_^} 3 3 3 3 3 3

MarieColemanAO Growing old gracefully has always been the best option 😊

Kimin ne dusundugunu cok önemsemiyoruz neyseki. Botoxun askerleriyiz.

letmefunk

vanity vanity all is vanity

Well that explains the last 20 years

So Botox may cause sociopath-like symptoms?

seems like people who can afford botox can afford therapy

Why would anybody even find a research program to address this. What a load of crap.

Haha what a funny side effect. The already confused woman who thinks a Botox is the solution now can not even identify your startled face hahaha 👏👏🤣😂 If I would be a GOD I would make fun of these tryings exactly like this.

on the other hand being released from the crushing permanent pain in my face and jaw gave me a whole lot of extra capacity for other people’s emotions

You mean injecting botulism into someone had adverse effects(

I think it’s more the other way around…

Did cosmetic procedures break our mirror neurons?

Madonna

What? Is this on the disclaimer form? 🫣

Is this why botox Karens are always so mean? They lose the ability to interpret emotions so they lash out in anger?

Seems fair since they can no longer express emotions on their own faces.

Interesting secondary effect. I wonder what can be said about all kinds of 'fillers' people 'instal' into their bodies.

That explains why they all look dead behind their eyes.

I believe it. I see nano hesitation in clients who have had Botox when trying to help them observe behavior in their animals . I always thought it was my imagination.

Role of mirror neurons?

Role of mirror neurons?

before the injections look at a picture of what used to be madonna, or mickey rourke.
