Cranial Nerves

Sensitive:  I, II, VIII
Motor: III, IV, VI, XI, XII
Mixed: V, VII, IX, X
Corticobulbar: V, VII, X, XI, XII

  • All CN nuclei receive double innervation (from both sides of cortex) → a lesion of tracts innervating CN nuclei won't result in any physical manifestation except CN VII (Nucleus has Upper & lower divisions) & some individuals CN XII (mainly contralateral bulbar innervatoin)
