Yes, the sensory neurons are gathered in the dorsal root ganglion

Explanation:

The dorsal root ganglion is located in the dorsal root of the spinal nerve. They contain cell bodies of sensory neurons.

The dorsal root ganglia are part of the sensory, not the motor, division of the PNS.
DRG are located along dorsal roots of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spinal nerves near their entry to the spinal cord
