Most of neurons are located in brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) in places recognized as neural nuclei. Neural ganglia, ganglia, are structures of peripheral nervous system situated beside the spinal column, or near some organs where neuron cell bodies are also situated.

Neurons located at particular points can present distant axonal terminations and they as well can get impulses from axons of distant the neurons. The inferior motor neurons located in spinal cord are examples because their axons can transmit information to extremities of inferior limbs triggering contractions of foot.
