    Sudip Devadas
    This document provides a mnemonic to help remember the arrangement of nerves that make up the superficial cervical plexus. The mnemonic "GLAST" is used to represent the position of the nerves around a central point at the midpoint of the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The mnemonic stands for the Greater auricular nerve, Lesser occipital nerve, Spinal accessory nerve, Supraclavicular nerve, and Transverse cervical nerve. These nerves innervate different areas of the neck and face.
