Cranial Nerves
For the record: there are 12 pairs of cranial nerves... not 6. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Corvus.ag (talk • contribs) 21:54, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Clinical Test Section
The section describing clinical tests is uncited and probably wrong, at least insofar as it suggests that the loss of taste may be meaningfully tested for diagnostically. It's a common misconception that there are areas of the tongue dedicated to individual components of taste, and the article that has spawned this popular misconception merely noted that particular areas of the tongue are more sensitive than to the tastes in question. A lemon on the tip of the tongue still tastes bitter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.194.183 (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
