Are there any major nerves by your eyebrow?
Yes, there are major nerves near the eyebrow, primarily the frontal nerve, which is a branch of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). The frontal nerve further divides into the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves, providing sensation to the forehead and parts of the scalp, including the eyebrow area. These nerves are responsible for carrying sensory information from the skin above the eyebrow to the brain.
Where does the optic nerve end up after it leaves the eye?
The optic nerve ends up connecting to the brain at a structure called the optic chiasm, where fibers from both eyes cross over. From the optic chiasm, the nerve continues to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe at the back of the brain, where visual information is processed.

Which nerves are responsible for causing headaches?
The nerves responsible for causing headaches are the trigeminal nerve and the occipital nerve.
What lobe is responsible for receiving impulses from the nerve of the eye?
