It receives special sensory fibers (taste) from the posterior one-third of the tongue.
Thus, sensory fibers, whether somatic or visceral, lead from the various organs directly to the central nervous system.
Significant decreases in threshold for sensory and motor fibers have been observed during ischemia.
Also, sensory fibers were shown to have a lower threshold for electric stimulation.
It contains the sensory and parasympathetic fibers of the facial nerve.
The decussating of sensory fibers happens at this point.
Special sensory fibers providing taste sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
That's the earliest time anatomic studies give for the first sensory fibers reaching the early brain.
This theory assumes that there is an almost complete decussation of sensory fibers within the grey matter.
The zygomatic nerve carries sensory fibers from the skin.
