Reflecting on old Olympus' towering tops.

Abstract

Mnemonics are useful tools for memorizing factual information. "On old Olympus' Towering Tops, a Finn and German viewed some hops" is a way to remember the 12 cranial nerves. The 12 cranial nerves, in order, are olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, auditory, glossopharyngeal, vagus, sensory (accessory), and hypoglossal.
