text: Maybe you're right, but see ganglion cyst and basal ganglia.  Regards, Looie496 (talk) 13:53, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

text: It is true that the basal ganglia are not truly ganglia, but it is definitely not true that "basal nuclei" is the accepted modern term.  The term has only caught on to a minimal degree and I think it is very unlikely that it will ever be dominant -- certainly not in the near future. Since 2005 there have been dozens of books published whose titles include the term "basal ganglia".  How many include "basal nuclei"?  Zero. Looie496 (talk) 04:28, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Two major groups of ganglia? 

message: My impression is that it's a kind of mini-brain, presumably specialised for controlling particular non-conscious actions (guess: chewing, coughing, digestive peristalsis etc.) If not, what? TIA 92.25.12.115 (talk) 18:51, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Greetings,
I propose that the language surrounding the anatomical and physiological categorization of the ganglia be cleared up. First of all, ganglia are not a component of the central nervous system (CNS). The only components of the CNS are the brain and spinal cord; everything outside of those two structures is categorized under the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Additionally, the PNS can be subdivided into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems, the latter of which can be subdivided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Each system utilizes different types of ganglia with different neurotransmitters utilized (ie. acetylcholine, epinephrine, etc). I propose that this article be reorganized to primarily reflect these established anatomical and physiological divisions in addition to noteworthy details such as those mentioning pseudoganglia and basal ganglia. I also propose that the ganglion cell page be merged into this page as the former is a stub that promotes redundancy. Please let me know what you think.

thread_title:  Proposal for revision 

message: "In the somatic nervous system this includes dorsal root ganglia and trigeminal ganglia among a few others. "
Everything I know makes me think this should be "Sensory nervous system", not somatic.  I'll leave is as is for now. 216.75.114.13 (talk) 20:17, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
