The trigeminal nerve pathway is a major sensory route in the face and head, responsible for transmitting sensations from the face to the brain. It consists of three main branches: the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves. These branches relay information about touch, pain, and temperature from different facial regions. The pathway also includes motor functions, primarily controlling the muscles involved in chewing. Its role in conditions like migraines is significant, as it can contribute to the transmission of pain signals during a migraine attack.
