In the central nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a nucleus.
In the peripheral nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a ganglion (plural: ganglia).
The one exception to this rule that you may have encountered is the basal ganglia in the brain. Indeed, the basal ganglia technically should be called the basal nuclei, but they were named prior to the terms being defined and the name has stuck.

What is the nuclei deep within the cerebral hemisphere white matter are collectively?
basal ganglia
What is the difference between fusion and fission atomic bombs?
Good question. A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it. A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.
What part of the brain is responsible for hyperactivity?
Basal Ganglia: Core part of the brain located in the cerebrum. The basal ganglia are a collection of nuclei found on both sides of the thalamus, outside and above the limbic system, but below the cingulate gyrus and within the temporal lobes.-webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/basalganglia.html
What is the distance between nuclei in a hydrogen molecule br2?
74 pm from nuclei to nuclei.
Mendelevium -256 and mendelevium-258 what is the difference between the nuclei of these two isotopes?
Mendelevium 256 has 155 neutrons and mendelevium 258 has 157 neutrons.
What is the difference between clusters of cell bodies called nuclei and those know as ganglia?
Nuclie are in the CNS, while ganglia are in the PNS.
What are collections of neurons?
nuclei in the CNS, ganglia in the PNS
What is nuclei deep within the cerebral hemisphere white matter are collectively called?
basal ganglia
What are groups of neuronal cell bodies in the CNS?
A collection of cell bodies in the CNS is called a nucleus. The equivalent in the PNS is called a ganglion. There are three nuclei in the cerebrum known collectively as the Basal Ganglia but this is a misnomer as they should be called nuclei.
Is there a difference between ganglion and ganglia?
one is singular and another is plural .
Unwanted muscle contractions are inhibited by what?
The Basal Nuclei or the Basal Ganglia
What leniform nucleus alon with the caudate nuclei are collectively?
The lentiform nucleus along with the caudate nuclei are collectively known as the basal ganglia. The basal ganglia is located deep inside the cerebral cortex and controls some motor functions.
What is the nuclei deep within the cerebral hemisphere white matter are collectively?
basal ganglia
The lentiform nucleus the caudate and other nuclei are collectively called the what?
The basal ganglia include the following masses of gray matter in the interior of each cerebral hemisphre: # Caudate nucleus # Lentiform nucleus # Amygdaloid nucleus A structure associated with the basal ganglia is the internal capsule.It is a large mass of white matter located between the caudate and lentiform nuclei and between the lentiform nucleus and thalamus. The caudate nucleus, internal capsule, and lentiform nucleus constitute the corpus striatum, meaning striped body.
What is average distance between cerebral ganglia and pedal ganglia of fresh water mussel Anodonta?
The average distance between cerebral ganglia and pedal ganglia of fresh water mussel Anodonta is 10 mm.
What is the difference between sperm's nucleus and other nucleus'?
Sperm don't have nuclei.
Clusters of many nerve cells are known as?
A cluster of many nerve cells outside the central nervous system is known as a ganglion (plural ganglia). A cluster of nerve cells within the central nervous system is known as a nucleus (plural nuclei).
