Can ganglia be divided into the groups mentioned? Where would the basal ganglia be classified under? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Senaiboy ( talk • contribs) 21:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
It would help this article if the first line would mention the neurological context of the tissue. The second sentence (with the dinosaur) makes no sense without that information.-- PrinzMegaherz ( talk) 15:23, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
GANGLIA DEFINITION BY DR.SHAHID JALAL WANI
The lead definition ("a biological tissue mass, most commonly a mass of nerve cell bodies.") is in need of significant revision. My medical school syllabus states that a ganglion is "a collection of neuronal cell bodies that lies outside the CNS [Central Nervous System]." Even the main reference for the current Wikipedia definition, Dorland's Medical Dictionary, states this explicitly: "a group of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system." As is, the definition hedges when it should be definitive ("most commonly"), and makes no mention of ganglion lying outside the CNS (unlike nuclei, which are within the CNS). The description in its current form is a seriously inadequate. —Preceding Rexbobo comment added by Rexbobo ( talk • contribs) 03:18, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
I have to agree with Rexbobo here... Neither "basal ganglia" nor "ganglion cysts" are true ganglia. "Basal ganglia" is an antiquated and obsolete term... the modern term is "basal nuclei." I tried editing this stuff myself, but I made a mess of it and abandoned it... I just don't have the skills to do a decent job of it. 71.112.87.162 ( talk) 02:53, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
NERVE CELLS DEFINTION BY DR SHAHID JALAL WANI
Alrighty, they're nerve cells. Biological mass. The article doesn't say a single word on what it's purpose is, how come? Can anyone add relevant information? 85.252.185.219 ( talk) 04:35, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
PROPOSE CHANGING AUTONOMIC TO PERIPHERAL IN FIRST PARAGRAPH. Because there are ganglia involving sensory neurons as well. Leaving it to the caretakers of the page. Best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wisebridge ( talk • contribs) 18:02, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
How do we fit them into the two groups? They are not considered to be spinal ganglia.
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)

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. HelloWorld15 ( talk) 08:45, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
"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)
