âAbout the Lab/Branch. The Laboratory of Genetics and Physiology (LGP) explores the biology of cytokines. In particular we investigate genetic and epigenetic mechanisms used to control development of the mammary gland and liver metabolism and cancer.âââ. Principal Investigators.
In anatomy, a ganglion (/ËÉ¡Ã¦ÅÉ¡liÉn/ GANG-glee-Én; plural ganglia) is a nerve cell cluster or a group of nerve cell bodies located in the autonomic nervous system and sensory system. Ganglia house the cell bodies of afferent nerves.
8. Most neurons are located within the brain and the spinal cord (the central nervous system) in places known as neural nuclei. Neural ganglia, or simply ganglia, are structures of the peripheral nervous system located beside the spine or near certain organs, in which neuron cell bodies are also located.. The structures that form the nervous system can be divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The organs of the CNS are the brain (cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum) and spinal cord. The PNS is made of nerves and neural ganglia.
