Aggregates of nerve cell bodies; these cause swellings on nerves Peripheral nervous system: All nerves and ganglia outside the central nervous system
a mass of nerve tissue (gray matter) or a group of nerve cell bodies Also refers to specific groups within the brain or spinal cord (as basal ganglia) Ganglion is the singular of ganglia
Colonies of neurons outside the brain and spinal cord sometimes acting to control local functions
A mass of nerve tissue or a group of nerve cell bodies In sympathectomy terms it relates to the place over the ribs where connections from one sympathetic cell to another are being made Gustatory Sweating: One of the side affects that patients can develop after sympathectomy Here there will be appearance of facial sweating after eating sour or spicy foods This affects about 15% of the patients who have had the ETS procedure The majority of those are on a mild to moderate level H
An interconnected group of three forebrain nuclei involved in motor control The three nuclei are the caudate nucleus, the putamen, and the globus pallidus
Groups of cells in the grey matter of each half of the brain which coordinate automatic movements It comprises various specialised groups of cells, or nuclei, such as the globus pallidus and the substantia nigra
involved primarily in the control of motor activity, and deficits in this area are significant in movement disorders such as parkinsonianism and Huntingtons chorea Components of the basal ganglia include the caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, lentiform nucleus, substantia nigra and others
The large, complex set of brain structures involved in generating movements, in some cognitive functions, and in some emotional and motivational activities The basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex work together to refine movements, thoughts, and feelings
A group of nerve cells located at the base of the brain It is composed of the putamen, caudate, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra These nerve cells participate in the regulation of motor performance (Singular form: basal ganglion )
Clusters of neurons that lie beneath the hemispheres of the cerebrum, they are associated with "initiation, smoothness, and precision of movement, and are responsible for the automatic movements we make without thinking "(Restak, 16) For more information, see these links
a collective name for a set of structures located around the thalamus, also known as the putamen and globus pallidus, that are part of the motor control mechanism of the brain
a collection of clusters deep within the cerebrum which plays an important role in producing smooth continous muscular actions and starting and stopping movement
Usually, a group of nerve cell bodies lying outside of the central nervous system (CNS); also used for one group of nerve cell bodies within the CNS - the basal ganglia
A ganglion is a collection of neuronal cell bodies In the leech, the central nervous system consists of the brain and 21 segmental ganglia connected by the ventral nerve cord Each ganglion contains 350 neurons, of which 14 respond to touch and pressure
A globular, hard, indolent tumor, situated somewhere on a tendon, and commonly formed by the effusion of a viscid fluid into it; called also weeping sinew
plural: From the Greek for knot A collection of neurons in the PNS?; e g , dorsal ganglia, root ganglia which contain the cell bodies of sensory axons entering the spinal cord The basal ganglia are the only nuclei in the brain called ganglia
A cluster of neuronal cell bodies, usually located outside the central nervous system in vertebrates Invertebrate central nervous systems consist of a series of ganglia connected by nerve bundles
A mass of nerve tissue containing nerve cells external to the brain or spinal cord Nerves run to or from the ganglia in passage to or from the brain to specific sites on the body
a collection of nerve cells usually found outside the central nervous system, from which axons arrive from the periphery and proceed to the spinal cord or brain
Aggregate of nerve-cell bodies outside the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal ganglion contains the nerve-cell bodies of the nerve fibres that carry impulses toward the CNS (afferent neurons in dorsal root ganglia) or away from it (efferent neurons in ventral root ganglia)
