[1] A pseudounipolar neuron has one axon that projects from the cell body for relatively a very short distance, before splitting into two branches.

The peripheral branch travels through the distal dorsal root into the spinal nerve all the way until skin, joint, and muscle.

The mesencephalic nucleus is made up of pseudounipolar neurons which migrated into the brainstem during embryological development.

It is the only location in the central nervous system where the cell bodies of pseudounipolar neurons are found.

The pseudounipolar neurons in the mesencephalic nucleus carry proprioceptive information from the muscle of mastication.
