Dorsal root ganglion
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
In anatomy and neurology, the dorsal root ganglion is a nodule on a dorsal root that contains cell bodies of afferent spinal nerve neurons. All of the axons in the dorsal root convey somatosensory information. These neurons bring sensory information into the brain and spinal cord. These neurons are of the unipolar type.
