The tongue connects to the brain through a network of nerves, primarily the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII), which controls its movement. Additionally, sensory information from the tongue, including taste, is transmitted to the brain via the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) for the front two-thirds of the tongue and the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) for the back third. These pathways enable the brain to process taste, texture, and temperature, allowing for coordinated movements and sensory experiences.
