Cranial Nerves: Morphology and Clinical Relevance

Abstract

This Special Issue entitled “Cranial Nerves: phylogeny, ontogeny, morphology and clinical significance” has been divided into two consecutive volumes. This second volume is devoted to morphology and clinical relevance. Articles in this volume examine these topics from a macroscopic point of view and with a surgical interest. This volume includes articles on oculomotor nerves III, IV, and VI and their course in the orbit; intracranial and extracranial views of the V and VII pairs; and branching patterns of IX, X, XI, and XII pairs with medical significance. Together, these articles provide a general overview of cranial nerves' gross anatomical organization, as well as improving on the knowledge necessary for clinical approaches.

La Sagrada Familia of the Human Body: The Anatomical Record Continues Our Exploration of the Unique World of the Cranial Nerves in Volume 2 of Our Special Issue, Cranial Nerves: Morphology and Clinical Significance

“…Many of these questions are raised anew in this, the second volume, of our Special Issue on the topic entitled, “Cranial Nerves: Morphology and Clinical Significance” Guest Edited, as previously, by Alino Martínez‐Marcos of the Universidad Castilla‐La Mancha and José Sañudo of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid with our neurobiology Associate Editor, the dashing, ever‐energetic, José Luis Trejo (Fig. ) of the Cajal Institute in Madrid, guiding the path (Martínez‐Marcos and Sañudo, , this volume; Trejo, , this volume). The second volume focuses on “Morphology and Clinical Significance,” the previous having focused on “Phylogeny and Ontogeny” (Laitman and Albertine, ; Martínez‐Marcos and Sañudo, ; Trejo, ).…”

The Anatomical Record Feasts on Spain's Rich History of Neuroscience in Our Latest Thematic Papers Issue

“…The second and third issues are volumes covering the history, current knowledge, and cutting‐edge research being done on the cranial nerves. Guest edited by neurobiologists Alino Martinez‐Marcos of the Universitad Castilla‐La Mancha and Jose Sanudo of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, there are two volumes: “Cranial Nerves: Phylogeny and Ontogeny” (Laitman and Albertine, ; Martinez‐Marcos and Ramon Sanudo, ; Trejo, ) and “Cranial Nerves: Morphology and Clinical Relevance” (Laitman and Albertine, ; Martinez‐Marcos and Ramon Sanudo, ; Trejo, ). These extraordinary Special Issues explore in detail the remarkable, and yet often confusing, world of those essential highways that have collectively been called cranial nerves, often with new and insightful perspectives.…”
