Nerves
Supraorbital nerve
The lateral branch of the frontal nerve, emerging at the supraorbital notch or foramen and running up the forehead with the supraorbital artery. Modelled from the reference dataset's own nerve geometry.
What it is
The lateral branch of the frontal nerve, emerging at the supraorbital notch or foramen and running up the forehead with the supraorbital artery. Modelled from the reference dataset's own nerve geometry.
How the Codex reads it
A forehead landmark: Detail's forehead work stays deep on bone and away from the vessels that run with this nerve.
Safety anatomy
The supraorbital notch lies on average 22 to 25 mm from the midline.

Every number in this atlas cites the study it came from. The full method, including what this site withholds on purpose, is on sources and method.
This site teaches one level above the Codex's working manual: the architecture is public, the coordinates are not. This page withholds entry points, landmark constructions, volumes and read-to-point routing, exactly as the atlas does. What is shown and what is withheld.
