ganglionic
Of nerve bundles
Ganglionic means relating to or affecting a ganglion—a cluster of nerve cell bodies found outside the brain and spinal cord.
The term appears in medical and anatomical contexts: ganglionic neurons, ganglionic blockers.
These nerve clusters serve as relay stations in the peripheral nervous system, processing signals between the central nervous system and the body's organs.
