<small>''Summary of cranial nerve modality, conduction direction and function. The modality describes the type of information each nerve conducts. Classic modality are the designations given by anatomists; SVA – special visceral afferent; SSA – special sensory afferent; GSA – general sensory afferent; SVE – special visceral efferent; GVE –general visceral efferent; GSE – general sensory efferent, A– Afferent, E − Efferent. Cranial nerves that contain at least one major afferent branch — characterized fully in this review — are bolded.''</small> | <small>''Summary of cranial nerve modality, conduction direction and function.
