It is believed that what we feel on the inside is reflected outwardly. Can we assume that it can also be the other way around. Does it mean that if we smile even when we feel down and out, we would feel better? The human brain is still a mystery and a lot is still needed to be discovered.

The researchers administered an anxiety and <A href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/topic.cfm?id=depression">depression</A> questionnaire to 25 females, half of whom had received frown-inhibiting botox injections.
