Dorsal root ganglion (DRG)_100x_semithin with toluidine blue

Dorsal root ganglion contains pseudounipolar sensory neurons. The cell bodies of the sensory neurons have centrally located nuclei (N, red arrows) which are large, pale-staining and have intensely staining nucleoli (black arrows). These neurons are typically arranged as closely packed clusters. There are bundles of nerve fibers (NF, yellow dashed lines) between and around the cell clusters.
