The giants of medicine and anatomy have each left their mark on the history of the cranial nerves, and much of the history of anatomic study can be viewed through the lens of how the cranial nerves were identified and named. A comprehensive literature review on the classification of the cranial names was performed. The identification of the cranial nerves began with Galen in the 2nd century AD and evolved up through the mid-20th century. In 1778, Samuel Sömmerring, a German anatomist, classified the 12 cranial nerves as we recognize them today. This review expands on the excellent investigations of Flamm, Shaw, and Simon et al., with discussion of the historical identification as well as the process of naming the human cranial nerves.
医学和解剖学领域的巨擘们都在颅神经的历史上留下了各自的印记，解剖学研究的许多历史都可以通过颅神经如何被识别和命名这一视角来审视。我们对颅神经名称的分类进行了全面的文献综述。颅神经的识别始于公元2世纪的盖伦，并一直发展到20世纪中叶。1778年，德国解剖学家塞缪尔·索默林将12对颅神经归类为我们如今所熟知的那样。本综述在弗拉姆、肖以及西蒙等人出色研究的基础上展开，探讨了人类颅神经的历史识别过程以及命名过程。
