The Facial Nerve The facial nerve is complicated. Not only does it control most muscles of the face; this nerve also transmits taste signals from the front of the tongue, conveys parasympathetic fibers that make the eyes tear and mouth salivate, and is responsible for a little bit of sensation around the ear.
Other than smell dysfunction, the most frequent causes of taste dysfunction are prior URTI, head injury, and idiopathic causes, but many other causes can be responsible. Lesions at any site from the mucosa, taste buds, unmyelinated nerves, or cranial nerves to the brain stem may impair gustation.
