The Interaction of Periphery and Center in the Development of Dorsal Root Ganglia

  • Chapter
Development of Sensory Systems

Part of the book series: Handbook of Sensory Physiology ((SENSORY,volume 9))

Abstract

In this chapter we shall be concerned with the interactions that occur between the dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) and their peripheral fields of innervation in the course of vertebrate development. The term “center”, as used here, refers to the neuronal cell bodies comprising the dorsal root ganglia. “Periphery” refers to the organ or field of innervation from which sensory nerve impulses originate.
