Anatomy James said:Technically they dont exist. A ganglion is a collection of neuronal cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system. A collection of these cell bodies in the central nervous system is sometimes mistakenly called a ganglion but is actually correctly termed a nucleus.

If I'm not mistaken, the DRG is part of the PNS in spite of the fact that within it exists a full neuron soma.
What is the difference between a brain and a ganglion?

Collection of nerve cell bodies found outside CNS?
In the peripheral nervous system, which is outside the central nervous system (CNS), collections of nerve cell bodies are called ganglia.
What are the differences between preganglionic and postganglionic neurons?
You have a really good question. Studying the nervous system can be overwhelming and quit confusing. Preganglionic Neurons come from the CNS to the Ganglion ( mass of neuron cell bodies and dendrites) and Postganglionic neurons leave the ganglion and head toward the effector organ ( smooth muscle, glands, etc..).
Is a ganglion dangerous?
No, ganglion cysts are not dangerous at all. (I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist).
What is the plural form for ganglion?
