The trigeminal (V) nerve detects sensation in the mouth, which is necessary for feedback in order to form proper language sounds.\n\nThe facial (VII) nerve mediates lip and cheek movements.\n\nThe glossopharyngeal (IX) nerve has to do with moving your tongue, as does the hypoglossal (XII) nerve.\n\nThe vestibulocochlear (VIII) nerve has to do with hearing, which is part of language but not speech.

The tongue is the large bundle of muscles on the floor of the mouth that manipulates food for chewing and swallowing. It is one of the organs of taste. Much of the surface of the tongue is covered in taste buds. The tongue assists in forming the sounds of speech, and also plays a major role in sexuality, such as in the french kiss and oral sex.\n\nThe word tongue can be used as a synonym for language, e.g., as in the phrase mother tongue.\n\nIt is also examined and observed diagnostically in traditional Chinese medicine.\n\nThe tongue is made mainly of skeletal muscle and attached to the hyoid bone, mandible and the styloid processes of the temporal bone.\n\nThe muscles that attach the tongue are the extrinsic muscles of the tongue. Inside the tongue, there are four pairs of intrinsic muscles that can alter the shape of the tongue for talking and swallowing. Since it contains no supporting skeletal structures for the muscles, the tongue is an example of a muscular hydrostat, like an octopus arm.\n\nA muscular hydrostat is a biological structure, found in animals. It is used to manipulate items (including food), or to move its host about, and is made mainly of muscles, with no skeletal support. It performs its hydraulic movement without fluid in a separate compartment, as in a hydrostatic skeleton. The principle behind the hydrostatic skeleton is that water is effectively incompressible at physiological pressures. Therefore, a fiber-wound chamber full of water will act as a constant-volume system. What makes the muscular hydrostat special is that it relies on the same principle, but there is no water-filled cavity. Instead, the bulk of the organ is made up of muscle, which also has constant volume. Therefore, instead of a cylinder wrapped with muscle and connective tissue that changes its shape, a muscular hydrostat is a cylinder made of muscle.\n\nMuscular hydrostat is a term coined by Dr. William M. Kier in 1982 to characterize the arms of octopuses and the arms and tentacles of squid. In a paper published in 1985, he showed that other organs, such as mammalian and reptile tongues and elephant trunks, fit in the category as well.\n\n:P

The frontal lobes and subcortical limbic system of the brain are responsible for the executive functions.  Executive functions are functions such as planning, decision making, directed goal selection, self-inhibiting, self-monitoring, self-evaluating, flexible problem, initiation, and self-awareness.

Neurons carry msgs through an electrochemical signal\nthree types of neurons r involved in this process...\nSensory (or afferent) neurons: send information from sensory receptors (e.g., in skin, eyes, nose, tongue, ears) TOWARD the central nervous system. \nMotor (or efferent) neurons: send information AWAY from the central nervous system to muscles or glands. \nInterneurons: send information between sensory neurons and motor neurons. Most interneurons are located in the central nervous system.

get a referral to see a neurologist and have the relevant cranial nerves tested.  seems like they have been affected.  Only your neurologist can answer your questions.

The cerebellum (Latin: "little brain") is a region of the brain that plays an important role in the integration of sensory perception and motor output. Many neural pathways link the cerebellum with the motor cortex—which sends information to the muscles causing them to move—and the spinocerebellar tract—which provides feedback on the position of the body in space (proprioception). The cerebellum integrates these two functions, using the constant feedback on body position to fine-tune motor movements.\n\nIts location is shown here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellum

A speech pathologist diagnoses and treats communication and swallowing disorders. This may include disorders of cognition, speech, language, and voice. The disorders can be developmental or acquired. Acquired disorders include such as in traumatic brain injury, stroke, neurological diseases, tracheostomy, voice and head/neck cancer. Developmental disorders include speech/language delay, articulation problems, learning disabilities, craniofacial (cleft palate and related problems), hearing impaired, literacy and many other communication difficulties (like autism).\nThe minimum requirements are a masters degree and a 9 month post-graduate clinical fellowship. They are then licensed by the state and certified by the American Speech Language Hearing Association.

The first link below has a good description of the different lobes of the brain and the functional areas of the cerebral cortex (scroll down).\n\nThe second has a nice picture of the 'homunculus' showing the way body parts are 'mapped' in the sensory and motor areas of the cortex.

Look in the encylopedia and look up the word brain and information pertaining to (frontal Lobes of the brain) it pertains much to what you are wanting to know. It talks about the thinking and language and control motor thrpugh the body.I found this information in a nursing handbook that I have.It was too much to type so I just gave you a briefing.

I think you will find what you need here:\n\nhttp://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/introb.html\n\nIt is a good but simple site on neuroscience.\n\nThere was an identical question in Yahoo Answers since yours; I answered that in the same way.  Check it out for other help.

Hope this helps\n\n"Seventh" cranial nerve palsy due to birth trauma \n\nDefinition \nThis condition describes facial paralysis caused by compression on the facial nerves while an infant is inside the uterus or being delivered.\n\nCauses, incidence, and risk factors     \nDamage to the facial nerve (also called the seventh cranial nerve) just before or at the time of delivery may cause paralysis to the same side of the face stimulated by the damaged nerve. The entire side -- from the forehead to the chin -- may be involved in severe cases.\n\nThe most common form involves only the lower branch of the facial nerve, however. This nerve controls the facial muscles surrounding the lips, and the defect is seen predominantly when the infant cries.\n\nSince the facial muscles on the affected side are weak, the mouth is pulled towards the normal side during crying. Generally, the nerve has been damaged by pressure and the nerve fiber itself has not been torn, in which case, the injury heals and the face returns to normal over a few weeks to months.\n\nMost of the times, a congenital (present from birth) facial nerve palsy like this one has no apparent cause. Occasionally, however, a difficult delivery, with or without the use of forceps (instruments used by physicians to facilitate the delivery of the baby´s head), may result in facial paralysis.\n\nSome factors are associated with birth trauma, including prolonged pregnancy, epidural anesthesia, prolonged labor, oxytocin use (a medication used to induce labor and increase the strength of contractions of the uterus during labor), and large baby size (for instance, when the mother suffers from diabetes). However, most mothers who have these factors do not deliver babies with facial palsy or birth trauma.\n\nSymptoms   \nThese may be observed in the newborn infant:\n\nPresent immediately after birth \nFailure of the lower lip to pull down symmetrically while crying (typical) \nFailure of any movement on the affected side of the face (total involvement, unusual) \nEyelid may not close on affected side \nLower face (below eyes) appears asymmetrical while crying \n\nTreatment    \nIn most cases, observation to see if the paralysis will disappear is the only treatment. Permanent paralysis requires special therapy\n\nExpectations (prognosis): \nFull, spontaneous recovery is the typical outcome.

The tongue and throat are derived from ectoderm.  The nerves supplying the tongue are V for pain and touch, VII for taste on the anterior portion of the tongue, and IX for taste on the posterior portion of the tongue.  XII is the motor portion of the tongue.\nIn general sensory neurons are derived from the alar plate while the motor neurons are from the basal plate.  These come from the neural tube which is an infolding of ectoderm called neuroectoderm. \nNot sure if you need to know about the pharyngeal pouches.  If so you might read up in a medical embryology text.  I can't remember them off the top of my head but if i had to guess i'd say it was the 2nd pharyngeal pouch.
