Dendrite
Neuron Connection
Dendrites in neuroscience are crucial for neurons to connect and communicate.
Neurons form networks through their dendrites.
Receive, Not Transmit
Unlike axons, dendrites primarily receive electrical signals, not transmit them.
After receiving signals, the dendrite passes the information towards the neuron's body.
Branch-Like Structures
Dendrites can branch extensively to form complex trees, increasing connection potential.
Medications may influence how dendrite trees branch and change neural connections. Compare with
