What is a ganglion?

This tutorial by Nicole from Kenhub explains ganglia, clusters of nerve cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It covers the division of the nervous system into the central nervous system (CNS) and PNS, and details the types of ganglia: sensory and autonomic. Sensory ganglia transmit sensory information to the CNS, while autonomic ganglia are involved in involuntary motor control. The tutorial also touches on basal ganglia, which are involved in motor function and cognition, and pseudoganglia, which resemble ganglia but are not true ganglia.

List the cranial nerve ganglia mentioned in the tutorial.
