Nervus intermedius
Other Terms: Intermediate nerve, Wrisberg's nerve, Nervus intermedius, Nerf intermédiaire
Description
The sensory root of the facial nerve arises from the geniculate ganglion. The fibers of the sensory root enter the brain at the inferior border of the pons between the acoustic nerve and the motor root of the facial nerve. The fibers pass into the medulla oblongata and into the superior portion of the terminal nucleus of the glossopharyngeal nerve and the fasciculus solitarus.
