Yes, collections of neuron cell bodies associated with nerves in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are known as ganglia. Ganglia can contain cell bodies of sensory neurons (dorsal root ganglia) or autonomic neurons (autonomic ganglia) that help relay information to and from the central nervous system.
