Talk:Dorsal root ganglion

message: I think it also has the cell bodies for the visceral sensory (sympathetic)
It is true that the dorsal root contains visceral sensory axons, and that the DRG contains their cell bodies.  However, I think the name sympathetic does not fit, bc the autonomic side is usually reserved for visceral efferent (not sensory).  In any event the first google book search result confirms that visceral sensory neurons are in the dorsal root.

message: The picture of the chick ganglion is cool, but it doesn't contribute to the explanation of a ganglion. Does anyone agree on removing it?

message: The dorsal root ganglion is an important structure in terms of sensory neurons, so I thought that a section detailing the presence of mechanosensitive channels in the dorsal root ganglion would add to the overall bigger picture of the structure.  These channels are an important of the function of the dorsal root ganglion. Ktrychta (talk) 04:22, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The dorsal root ganglia lie along the vertebral column by the spine: not very helpful, especially as in this context, vertebral column and spine mean the same thing, pretty much.  At what bony level is, say, the L4 - 5 dorsal root ganglion?  I believe it is close to the level of the L4 - 5 intervertebral foramen, meaning that the L4 - 5 components of the cauda equina are not spinal nerves but separate motor and sensory nerve roots.  According to The Anatomy Guy (personal communication), this is the correct picture, but I have yet to see it discussed in a text book. Moletrouser (talk) 10:08, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Is the dorsal root ganglia inside or outside the dura of the spinal cord, that is, is it part of the central nervous system, or the peripheral nervous system? (And exactly how does the CNS transition to the PNS?)UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 23:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
