The nervus intermedius or intermediate nerve or nerve of Wrisberg is the part of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) located between the motor component of the facial nerve and the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). It contains the sensory and parasympathetic fibers of the facial nerve. Upon reaching the facial canal it joins with the motor root of the facial nerve at the geniculate ganglion.
