| | Diabetes: Morphometry of dorsal root ganglion in chronic ... @ HighBeam Research |
| | Earlier pathological studies on spinal roots (10) and dorsal root ganglion showing demyelination, vacuolar degeneration, and pigmentary changes (11) have been supported by recent pathophysiological studies supporting the sensory neuron as a target and, in particular, the mitochondrion as the most relevant organelle. | | | The changes and loss in neurons are associated with dramatic changes in both dorsal and ventral roots, including florid demyelination (11). | | | Published values range from 13,000 to 18,000 for rat L5 DRG neurons when high-resolution methods of quantitation are used. |

| | Traction of the lumbar spine for radicular low back pain |
| | Reduction in mechanical irritation from venous congestion around the DRG may be an explanation for the efficacy of a treatment technique such as traction. | | | If, the interaction between the DRG and peripheral SNS is responsible for these immune responses during inflammation, then a treatment technique like traction may aid in reducing constriction of the affected peripheral nerves. | | | However, in acute radicular pain it becomes apparent that the DRG is likely to regulate the excitability of the sensory nerve endings (Devor 1999). |

| | Morphogenic Role for Acetylcholinesterase in Axonal Outgrowth during Neural Development |
| | Retardation of neuritic outgrowth and cytoskeletal changes accompany acetylcholinesterase inhibitor treatment in cultured rat dorsal root ganglion neurons. | | | Our studies using cultured DRG neurons show that AChE levels increase in parallel with neurite outgrowth and that this expression can be modulated in response to the type of substratum. | | | In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), AChE is transiently expressed by developing dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons (10-14) and later in their axons and growth cones in the spinal cord (15,16). |

| | Rat Dorsal Root Ganglia Neurons - Cambrex |
| | A ganglion is a group of nerve cells forming a nerve center, especially one located outside the brain or spinal cord. | | | One axon extends centrally toward the spinal cord; the other axon extends toward the skin or muscle. | | | Dorsal Root Ganglion, also called Spinal Ganglion, is the ganglion of the posterior root of each spinal segmental nerve, containing the cell bodies of the unipolar primary sensory neurons. |

| | ePrintsUQ - Vulnerability of the Dorsal Root Ganglion in Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis |
| | The dorsal (posterior) root ganglion is a relatively neglected part of the nervous system from the clinical point of view. | | | These and other studies in experimental animals suggest that in man the DRG may be a preferential (but neglected) site of focal structural and functional abnormalities in inflammatory and also other neurological diseases. | | | The vulnerability of the DRG is due to a deficient blood-nerve barrier and possibly also to a susceptibility of the branch point of the ganglion neurone to demyelination-induced conduction block. |

| | You may see some yellow-brown pigmentation in the cytoplasm of some neurons. | | | In pseudounipolar neurons, one axon divides close to the cell body into two processes, one of which becomes a "functional dendrite" (although it actually is a myelinated axon). | | | The dorsal root ganglion is encapsulated in condensed C.T. that is continuous with the sheath of the peripheral nerves that enter and leave it. |
