The auricular branch of the vagus nerve was named after Arnold - “Arnold's nerve ”, after Arnold described a reflex cough in response to irritation of the skin of the auditory canal in the ear or the mucous membrane of the eardrum [4] . Other eponyms named after Arnold are the Arnold Ganglion (the auditory nerve ganglion) and the Arnold Canal (a hole in the temporal bone through which the auricular branch of the vagus nerve passes, that is, the Arnold nerve) [5] .
