Judi,

Looking in my dog anatomy book, the nodose ganglion is also called the 
distal ganglion of cranial nerve X (the vagus). It is located just as the 
vagus nerve comes out through the jugular foramen. I have no idea how easy 
it would be to see in a mouse! Looks like from the dog picture that it is 
the largest ganglion in the area.

Good Luck

Hi everyone:

I recieved a request from one of our researchers to locate mouse ganglia 
for
their study.  There is one that we can't find; its called 'nodose ganglia'.
Has anyone heard of this?  If so, where in the mouse would it be located.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
