MODULE 8
SUGGESTED READING
Digital:
1) Cranial Nerves by Wesley Norman. A great online source of information
- Summary of Functional Components
- Table of Cranial nerves - lists the foramen of exit, the branches, the functional components, the area supplied and function for each nerve
- Cranial Nerve Maps - provides excellent, detailed maps of the peripheral distribution of each nerve
Print:
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) Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience by M. J. Turlough Fitzgerald, Gregory Gruener and Estomih Mtui. Fifth Edition. The cranial nerves we consider in this module are covered in several places.
----- For a view of the nerves in the developing brain, see Figure 1.7 on page 3.
----- The concept of functional components and cell columns is discussed in the first part of Chapter 17. See page 203; also Figure17.1 and Figure 17.2.
----- The trigeminal nerve is covered in Chapter 21, starting on page 245. Most of the chapter relates to the sensory part of the nerve, which you may have read when we did Module 4.
----- The facial nerve is covered in Chapter 22, starting on page 251.
----- The glossopharyngeal, vagus and accessory nerves are covered in Chapter 18, starting on page 225. Ignore the discussion of the hypoglossal nerve for now.
----- For a summary of the parasympathetic components of these cranial nerves, read the discussion starting on page 152 and see Figures 13.2 and 13.3.
3) 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.
4) Cranial Nerves Anatomy and Clinical Comments, by Wilson-Pauwels, Akesson and Stewart. An inexpensive paperback that combines good figures with anatomical and clinical information. We will refer to this book as WAS.
5) 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.
6) 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.
