It is located in the pons, near the entrance for the fifth nerve. Fibers carrying touch-position information from the face and mouth via cranial nerves V, VII, IX, and X are sent to this nucleus when they enter the brainstem.he sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is to provide tactile, proprioceptive, and nociceptive afference to the face and mouth. Its motor function activates the muscles of mastication, the tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid and the anterior belly of the digastric.
The pain of trigeminal neuralgia is usually caused by pressure on the trigeminal nerve at the base of the brain. 1  The pressure can be result from: 2  A stroke that affects the lower part of the brain, where the trigeminal nerve enters. 3  A tumor that pushes on the nerve.
