The sensory nerve cell body resides in the ganglion. The anterior (ventral) horn contains the motor cell body and develops into the ventral motor roots and autonomic nerve fibers (Fig 1).

Scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have uncovered an ...

They are studying both mice and lab-grown nerve cells. The researchers speculate that its secondary function in dorsal root ganglion neurons, which transmit sensory signals from skin-proximal ...

You feel pain when special sensory nerve cells send signals to your spinal cord and brain. Once the cause of an injury or illness is treated, the acute pain goes away. But chronic pain doesn't.

Several nerves can be biopsied but the major requirement for selection of a nerve for biopsy is that it should be a purely sensory nerve. Biopsy of a nerve with any motor function carries the risk of ...
