The terminal nerve, also known as cranial nerve 0 or simply as CN 0, is a nerve that was not included in the seminal classification of the cranial nerves as CN I through CN XII but is now generally classified as a cranial nerve. It was discovered by German scientist Gustav Fritsch in 1878 in the brains of sharks. It was first found in humans in 1913.[1] A 1990 study has indicated that the terminal nerve is a common finding in the adult human brain.[2][3] The nerve has been called unofficially by other names, including cranial nerve XIII, zero nerve, nerve N,[4] and NT.[5]
