Abstract

The nomenclature of the 12 cranial nerves as we know it today was developed over a series of anatomic findings by some of history's most famous anatomists from Galen to Von Soemmerring. In this paper, we review the literature to present an overview of the remarkable historical journey that brought our forefathers to trace the pathway of individual cranial nerves from origin to destination. In particular, we discuss the evolution of the naming of the cranial nerves and highlight relevant eponymous descriptions. We also include some poignant illustrations of cranial nerves by ancient anatomists that set the scene to their discoveries. In reviewing this legacy, we summarize the important product of centuries of discoveries and investigations and the limitations of cranial nerve classification systems.

摘要

我们今天所知道的 12 对颅神经的命名法是由一些历史上最著名的解剖学家，从盖仑（Galen）到冯·索默林（Von Soemmerring），通过一系列解剖发现发展而来的。在本文中，我们回顾了文献，概述了我们的祖先追溯各个颅神经从起源到目的地的路径的这一非凡历史之旅。特别是，我们讨论了颅神经命名的演变，并强调了相关的命名描述。我们还包括了一些古代解剖学家对颅神经的生动插图，这些插图为他们的发现提供了背景。在回顾这一遗产时，我们总结了几个世纪以来发现和研究的重要成果，以及颅神经分类系统的局限性。
