Is there a way to distinguish say a left-sided LMN lesion of XII vs a right-sided UMN lesion of XII? Both would deviate the tongue to the left. Also, what are some good neuro resources, ie. Practice questions, summaries, etc.
But seriously I don't think this distinction matters for most cranial nerves at the medical student level. The only cranial nerve lesion I can think of where upper vs lower mattered was the facial nerve.
