Pseudounipolar neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia (the head).

By definition, a pseudounipolar neuron has one axon with two branches: central and peripheral.

Pseudounipolar neurons do not have dendrites.

The soma (cell body) of each pseudounipolar neuron is located within a dorsal root ganglion.

Unipolar neurons that begin as bipolar neurons during development are known as pseudounipolar neurons.

A pseudounipolar neuron (pseudo - false, uni - one) is a sensory neuron in the peripheral nervous system.

Afferent neurons are pseudounipolar neurons, that have a single long dendrite and a short axon, and a smooth and rounded cell body.

Like other sensory fibers, the Aδ fiber is an extension of a pseudounipolar neuron with its cell body located in a dorsal root ganglion or trigeminal ganglion.

In certain sensory neurons (pseudounipolar neurons), such as those for touch and warmth, the electrical impulse travels along an axon from the periphery to the cell body, and from the cell body to the spinal cord along another branch of the same axon.

Pseudounipolar neurons in the dorsal root ganglion have axons that lead from the skin into the dorsal spinal cord where they ascend or descend one or two vertebral levels via Lissauer's tract and then synapse with secondary neurons in either the substantia gelatinosa or the nucleus proprius.
