Which Cranial nerves decussate with its corresponding nucleus hence show contralateral signs. These cranial nerves are tough. I assume CN1 is ipsilateral.
Thanks a bunch for helping out.

To the best of my knowledge only the trochlear nerve decussates after its nucleus. I am assuming you are talking about LMN lesions only?
