(or superior salivatory nucleus) of the facial nerve is a visceromotor cranial nerve nucleus located in the pontine tegmentum.
Parasympathetic efferent fibers of the facial nerve (preganglionic fibers) arise according to some authors from the small cells of the facial nucleus, or according to others from a special nucleus of cells scattered in the reticular formation, dorso-medial to the facial nucleus. |

1. Attaching to brain
2. Have additional component types (GSE, SSA, etc).
3. Not every nerve has every component |

Neuronal cell groups supporting these functions will be found in specific regions of the Mantle Layer (A layer of cells in the developing spinal cord that gives rise to the grey matter). |
