its the nerve that connects the eye to the brain
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.
Optic nerve

The eyes.
what are the side effects of clipping the occipital ner e
optic nerve (at the back of the eye) which then crosses at the optic chiasm. From this point, the optic tracts travel to the lateral geniculate nucleus, and then on to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe.
The nerves responsible for causing headaches are the trigeminal nerve and the occipital nerve.
The Olfactory bulb via the olfactory nerves in the nose.
Occipital nerve. It is the second cranial nerve.
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.

Hello, my name is Cynthia and I have been treated with Occipital nerve Blocks for over a year now. The worst side effect I can think of is having the yellow betedine on my neck the next day. It's difficult to wash off. I have no pain...maybe a little soreness but mostly great relief from the tremendous pain I suffer with on a daily basis. I also have Botox type "B" injections, but they make me sick the day after...flu feeling.
