That's where the cell body's located along with the rest of the cell bodies of other pseudounipolar neurons.

For example if you accidentally touch a hot pan, the sensation of pain and temperature is carried from the nerves in the skin of your fingers, through a 1st order neuron, which is a pseudounipolar neuron.
A pseudounipolar neuron has a cell body from which only one axon comes out, and then that axon splits into two branches, a lateral branch that comes from the periphery, and the a medial branch that runs towards the spinal cord.
A pseudounipolar neuron (pseudo - false, uni - one) is a kind of sensory neuron in the peripheral nervous system. This neuron contains an axon that has split into two branches; one branch runs to the periphery and the other to the spinal cord.
