The temporal branch of the facial nerve is typically found between the temporoparietal fascia (i.e., superficial temporal fascia) and temporal fascia (i.e., deep temporal fascia). This layer is also known as the innominate fascia. There are several methods using anatomic landmarks that may be used to find the temporal branch of the facial nerve.
The pyramidal eminence is the second bend in the facial nerve, where the nerve runs downward as the mastoid segment, the longest segment of the facial nerve. In the temporal part of the facial canal, the nerve gives branch to the stapedius muscle and chorda tympani.

In anatomy, temporal branches can refer to any one of several different structures near the temple or temporal bone: Nerves Temporal branches of the facial nerve - "rami temporales nervi facialis"
In other words, this means lower motor neurons of the facial nerve can leave either from the left anterior, left posterior, right anterior or right posterior facial motor nucleus. The temporal branch travels out from the left and right posterior components. The inferior four branches do so via the left and right anterior components.
The facial nerve exits the cranial cavity through the internal acoustic meatus and enters the facial canal. In the facial canal, the chorda tympani branches off the facial nerve and enters the lateral wall of the tympanic cavity inside the middle ear where it runs across the tympanic membrane (from posterior to anterior) and medial to the neck ...
The temporal branches, cross the zygomatic arch to the temporal region. The zygomatic branches, cross the zygomatic bone to the orbit. The buccal branches, pass forward to below the orbit and around the mouth. The marginal mandibular branch passes forward to the lower lip and chin. The cervical branch runs forward forming a series of arches ...
[4] [5] The overlying muscles are the occipitofrontalis, procerus, and corrugator supercilii muscles, all of which are controlled by the temporal branch of the facial nerve. [ 2 ] The sensory nerves of the forehead connect to the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve and to the cervical plexus , and lie within the subcutaneous fat.
