Clusters of neurons cell bodies are called?

Clusters of neurons cell bodies are called ganglia in the peripheral nervous system and nuclei in the central nervous system. Ganglia contain the cell bodies of sensory or motor neurons, while nuclei contain cell bodies of interneurons or projection neurons.


What are the names of cell bodies in neurons?
