This is a teaching resource that aids the student in memorisation of the Cranial Nerves, their anatomical path and function. Additionally, it stimulates a clinical approach to the functions of the Cranial Nerves, with some 'not to be missed' signs.

Shouldn't the Pons be on the other side of that curve? Since the VI, VII and VIII emerge from the pontine-medullary junction, and the V from the pons and not mid-brain.
