4 trigeminal nuclei at different brainstem levels
Main- Somatosensory and Brachiomotor to ipsilateral face
3 branches- opthalmic, maxilla and mandibular
1) pain and temp- enter at pons, descend to spinal nucleus V, cros and assend to TPV
2) Position, Proprioception, and fine touch, to chief sensory V in pons - then Dessucate to VMP
