[Development and growth of the forehead].

Craniofacial development involves processes leading to the positioning and early growth of the frontal ossification centers. Growth then occurs, mostly secondary to the activity of the sutures, with major interactions with the functional environment, mostly consisting in the growing brain, based on mechanosensation and mechanotransduction mechanisms. Here, we review these processes and assess their relevance in the understanding of craniofacial malformations.
