Nissl granules occur in the neurons and are the site for protein synthesis.  Nissl's granules are present in the cytoplasm of the cell body of the neurons along with other cell organelles like Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, nucleus, etc.  These granules give a slight colored appearance to the cytoplasm of the cell body. They help in protein synthesis in the neurons.
