What causes occipital nerve headaches?
Occipital nerve headaches are caused by the firing of the occipital nerve either as the result of a process that disturbs the nerve or as the result of a chronic pain condition that causes spontaneous firing of the nerve pathways resulting in pain.
Where is your occipital nerve located in your eyebrow?
The occipital nerve is not located in the eyebrow; rather, it is primarily found at the back of the head. The greater occipital nerve emerges from the cervical spine (C2) and travels upward, providing sensation to the scalp. In contrast, the eyebrow is innervated by different nerves, such as the frontal nerve, a branch of the trigeminal nerve. Therefore, the occipital nerve and the eyebrow are anatomically distinct.

What lobe is responsible for receiving impulses from the nerve of the eye?
The Olfactory bulb via the olfactory nerves in the nose.
What nerve carries signals from the from the retina to the brain?

Layer that sends inormation along the optic nerve to the occipital lobe?
The layer responsible for sending information along the optic nerve to the occipital lobe is the ganglion cell layer in the retina. Ganglion cells receive visual information from bipolar cells and amacrine cells before transmitting it via their axons through the optic nerve to the brain for further processing in the occipital lobe.
