CN XII (Hypoglossal Nerve) 👅
Tongue deviation from stroke or trauma. Rare standalone, but a key lower motor neuron sign.

Hypoglossal nerve stimulator, on lateral x-ray. For treatment of obstructive sleep apnea resistant to other measures. Electrodes (3 dots) are placed at the hypoglossal nerve, & will fire to contract muscles of the tongue, when it detects that you have stopped breathing, thereby opening your airway.

New paper out today led by @gallinaciega.bsky.social

We show that seed-eating songbirds have enlarged a somatosensory nucleus, especially the part associated with the tongue, suggesting that seed-cracking is dependent on a fine sense of touch.

A multipanel figure showing a cartoon of a songbird head, a cartoon diagram of a songbird brain, and three black and white images showing the cellular structure of the brain region we focused on, PrV. The following is the legend that accompanies the figure. (a) Shows in different colours the areas of the innervation in the head, beak and tongue by the three branches of the trigeminal nerve (V1-V3) and the hypoglossal nerve (XII) in a songbird and the respective areas of innervation in the principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminal nerve (PrV; based on Faunes & Wild [26]). (b–d) Microphotographs of Nissl-stained coronal sections through the principal sensory in nucleus of the trigeminal nerve (PrV) in three species of songbirds: (b) the pine grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator, Fringillidae); (c) the field sparrow (Spizella pusilla, Passerellidae); (d) the Carolina chickadee (Poecile carolinensis, Parulidae).

A choice of nerve stimulators – the Genio or Inspire implant,
stimulate the hypoglossal nerve, which controls the muscles in the tongue and can be an alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (Cpap) machines.

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea shows downstream health benefits
Researchers estimate that more than 80 million U.S. adults are living with obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which the soft tissue at the back of the throat collapses and blocks the airway during sleep.

Implanted proximal hypoglossal nerve stimulation significantly reduced breathing interruptions and improved daytime sleepiness in adults with obstructive sleep apnea, with no significant adverse events reported.
Implanted nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea found to be safe and effective
A randomized controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of proximal hypoglossal nerve stimulation, or pHGNS, (an implanted stimulation therapy targeting specific sectors of nerves in the tongue) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) found that pHGNS significantly reduced breathing interruptions during sleep and improved patient-reported daytime sleepiness without any significant adverse events.

Of course!! I’d been doing research for a few years on this, Genio his both sides of the hypoglossal nerve rather than just one side like Inspire, and doesn’t require an implanted battery. Here’s a surgeon from the NHS’ video about it that’s really informative
