how does pain sensation (hint: touchy feely) from the tongue reach the brain?
Bonus: how does taste reach the brain?
What is via the lingual branch of the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve (does GSE for ALL of the tongue)
Bonus: Rostral 2/3 of the tongue send taste sensation via the CN 9 (glossopharyngeal) Cranial 1/3 of the tongue sends taste sensation via the lingual branch of the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve but then the SA fibers cross the chorda tympani to CN 7 and enters the brain via the facial nerve (CN 7)
