The part of the brain that controls eyebrows is the facial nerve which is the 7th cranial nerve that carries nerve fibers which control facial movement and facial expression.

The facial nerve also carries nerves that are also involved in taste to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and produces tears.

There are two muscles in the frontalis which are 2 large fan like muscles which extend from your eyebrow region to the top of your forehead.

Your frontalis muscle originates from your galea aponeurotica and then inserts at the skin of your eyebrows and your nose.

You can easily strengthen your frontalis muscle by doing brow lifter exercises.

Brow lifter exercises target your frontalis muscle of your forehead that connects to the levator muscles of your eyelid.

To do the brown lifter exercises to strengthen your frontalis muscle place your hands on your forehead and push against the forehead with light pressure.

Then using your forehead muscles, try to raise your forehead up for 5 seconds and repeat the brow lifter exercises 5 to 10 times a day.

The muscles that control the forehead are the frontalis muscles and the occipitalis muscles which provide movement for the eyebrows, scalp and forehead and are also innervated by the temporal and posterior auricular branches of your facial nerve.

The frontalis muscle elevates the eyebrows and the corrugator supercilii, orbicularis oculi, and procerus play a role in its depression.

The contraction of your frontalis muscles causes horizontal forehead wrinkles.

The frontalis muscles are two large fan-like muscles that extend from the eyebrow region to the top of the forehead.

Your frontalis muscle originates from the galea aponeurotica and inserts at the skin of the eyebrows and nose.

Our frontalis muscle plays a very significant role in day-to-day social interactions.

As the only muscle that raises the eyebrows, the frontalis muscles function goes beyond simply keeping the brows out of one's visual field; it is also necessary for conveying emotions and nonverbal communication.

A problem that can occur with the frontalis muscle is strain.

Frontalis strain manifests through pain across the forehead or tension headaches.

The best way to relieve strain on this muscle is to either rest it and apply a cool compress or gently massage the forehead.

Massage stimulates blood flow to the forehead and can relieve frontalis muscle tension.

Eyebrow exercises target the frontalis muscle, which raises the eyebrows.

It's also essential for emotional expression and nonverbal communication.

Strengthening this muscle can help improve facial symmetry and overall muscle control, making creating expressions like shock and surprise easier.

Upper eyelid dermatochalasis often triggers frontalis hyperactivity in an effort to elevate the upper lids away from the visual axis.

Similarly, prior neuromodulator treatment of the brow depressors may cause false elevation of the brows, diminishing the extent of preoperative brow ptosis or dermatochalasis.
