    Study Notes

    Cranial Nerve Sensory Pathways

    • Epicritic Sensibility: involves the lemniscal system, which includes the trigeminal lemniscus (nucleo-thalamo-cortical tract)

    Trigeminal Nerve Pathways

    • Protopathic Sensibility: involves two pathways:
      • Trigeminothalamic tract
      • Trigeminoreticular tract

    Proprioception Pathways

    • Conscious Proprioception: involves the trigeminal tract
    • Unconscious Proprioception: involves the trigeminocerebellar (nucleocerebellar) tract

    Nociception Pathways

    • Pain Sensation: involves two pathways:
      • Trigeminothalamic tract
      • Trigeminoreticular tract

    Cranial Nerve Nuclei

    • Nuclei of CN V: responsible for detecting sensibility from cranial nerves, including:
      • Skin of the head
      • Mucosa of oral and nasal cavities
      • Paranasal sinuses
      • Teeth
      • Cranial dura mater
    • Nuclei Functions:
      • Pontine nucleus: epicritic sensibility
      • Spinal nucleus: protopathic sensibility
      • Mesencephalic nucleus: proprioception
