A member asked:
Is there a nerve in your eyebrow that could paralyze your face if triggered?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nope: The 7th nerve controls facial movement. Triggering 1 branch wont paralyze the rest.

No, not all the face: The facial nerve moves the face, and the branch to the forehead only goes by the eyebrow. So an injury near the brow could paralyze the forehead but not the whole face.
