regarding cranial nerves - mdkhayat - ArchivalUser - 04-12-2015

hi everybody,
I think all cranial nerves are going to both side of cortex.I am sure about vagus and facial n. but not others.
Am I correct or not?

if you know ,please explain.
am I correct ?

Not at all.
Cranial nerves have their nuclei in the brainstem with the exception of the olfactory nerve

thank you for you answer.
I mean after nuclei ,they must go to somatosensory cortex ..
as I know CN 7 and 10 go to both side of brain ,I want to know do it correct for other CN s or not
