From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The vestibular ganglion (also called Scarpa's ganglion) is the ganglion of the vestibular nerve. It contains the cell bodies of the bipolar primary afferent neurons whose peripheral processes form synaptic contact with hair cells of the vestibular sensory end organs.
It is named for Antonio Scarpa.[1][2]
