Imaging the Hypoglossal Nerve

, 2010
The hypoglossal nerve is a pure motor nerve. It provides motor control to the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles thus being essential for normal tongue movement and coordination. In order to design a useful imaging approach and a working differential

Intramedullar stimulation of the facial and hypoglossal nerves: estimation of the stimulated site.

Croatian medical journal, 2000
To determine the stimulation site of both facial and hypoglossal nerves after transcranial magnetic stimulation.After surgical exposure of the brainstem in 22 patients with intrinsic pontine (n=9) or medullary (n=13) tumors, the facial colliculus and the hypoglossal triangle were electrically stimulated.
