A ganglion is a cluster of nerve cells that processes and transmits signals in the nervous system, as shown in this image of a developing dorsal root ganglion from a chicken embryo. Ganglions are important because they serve as relay stations where sensory and other neural information is collected and sent to the brain and spinal cord.

A ganglion (: ganglia) is a group of neuron cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system. In the somatic nervous system, this includes dorsal root ganglia and trigeminal ganglia among a few others. In the autonomic nervous system, there are both sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia which contain the cell bodies of postganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons respectively.
