Spinal nucleus and the sensory tract of CN V 

Thank you!

Although the tract crosses eventually, the nucleus is on the same side to where the lack of sensation will be experienced on the face. E.g left CNV synapses with the left sided nucleus. Therefore, we can say that the location of the lesion and the side of the face where the loss of sensation will be felt are the same. So, it is described as ipsilateral despite the fact that eventually the processing occurs by the opposite side of the brain. Hope that makes sense?

@@SotonbrainhubUk1 yes thank you!

@@SotonbrainhubUk1 Is this a proper way of understanding it: Bc the lesion is where input of the sensory information is coming in, we've knocked out the ability of processing to occur. So the pain would have to be ipsilateral bc there's essentially no nucleus for there to even be a possibility of contralateral effects. Is this correct?

Back then we just needed a better microphone! Making free resources is not great for when you need to buy stuff which benefits your audience. Sorry about that.
