MODULE 8

SUGGESTED READING

1) Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases by Hal Blumenfeld. The cranial nerves are covered in Chapter 12.

• General review of the brainstem, the skull and cranial nerves as a group - pages 460-466.
• Cranial nerve sensory and motor cell columns - pages 466-469.
• Cranial nerves - a summary - Tables 12.4 and 12.5.
• Trigeminal nerve - pages 474-8.
• Facial nerve - pages 479-484.
• Glossopharyngeal nerve - pages 495-6.
• Vagus nerve - pages 496-8.
• Accessory nerve - page 499.

2) Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications by Duane E. Haines. Third Edition.

• The concept of functional components and cell columns is first discussed on page 80 and shown in Figure 5-13. It is presented again on page 210.
• The (spinal) accessory nerve is discussed on page 214 and shown (along with the vagus) in Figure 14-7.
• Discussion of the vagus nerve starts on page 214; see also Figure 14-7.
• The glossopharyngeal is described on pages 216-7; it is shown in Figure 14-11.
• The facial nerve is discussed on pages 220-22 and shown in Figure 14-14.
• The trigeminal nerve is treated on pages 223-5 and shown in Figure 14-18.

3) Cranial Nerves, by Wilson-Pauwels, Akesson and Stewart. It's easy to find the relevant sections in this book. Read them if you find them helpful

4) Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Fourth Edition by Keith L. Moore and Arthur F. Dalley. The section on the cranial nerves is excellent. It deals with the function and peripheral anatomy of each one and starts on page 1082.

5) Principles of Neural Science by Eric R. Kandel, James H. Schwartz and Thomas M. Jessel.

• Read chapter 44. Table 44-1 is a good summary of cranial nerve functions.
