The only nerves to originate from the dorsal surface of the brainstem
Trochlear
Originates at the junction btw the inferior olive and pyramid
Hypoglossal
From brainstem at level of interpeduncular fossa btw cerebral peduncles
Oculomotor
Responsible for eye movement and originates at the junchtion btw pons and medulla
Abducens
Very fine nerve that lies along the medulla and innervates neck muscles
