Routes afferent information to the appropriate cerebral areas. Maintains the necessary water balance (via the posterior pituitary gland) Regulates pupillary reaction and size; elevation of upper eyelid; eye adduction and downward rolling. Shine light to assess reaction (up, down, and medial gaze) Motor = muscles of mastication; sensory = nose, forehead, temple, scalp, lips, tongue, and lower jaw. Have eye follow an object down and laterally without moving head. Identify location of touch on face, hold mouth open against resistance, clench teeth. Motor = muscles of expression; sensory = taste.

Based on self-reported symptoms (often a foul odor . Separated from the dura mater by the subdural space. Circulates around brain and spinal cord (within the subarachnoid space) Selective tissue test: modified balance error scoring system.
