脑神经(Cranial nerves)属于周围神经系统,区别于由脊髓发出的脊神经,它们是直接由脑发出。在人中,传统上认为一共有 12 对脑神经,其中有 10 对分布于头面部。只有第 I 和第 II 对脑神经是从大脑发出,其余都是从脑干发出。

Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from segments of the spinal cord). Cranial nerves relay information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck.
