Dendrite
01
树突
a branching extension of a neuron that receives signals from other neurons and conducts electrical impulses toward the cell body
例子
Dendrites form an intricate network of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron, increasing the surface area for receiving signals.
The primary function of dendrites is to receive and transmit electrical impulses and chemical signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.
The structure of dendrites is essential for integrating incoming signals and determining whether a neuron will generate an action potential.
Dendrites exhibit a high degree of plasticity, with their structure and connectivity changing in response to learning and experiences.
The branching pattern of dendrites contributes to the complexity and specificity of neural circuits in the brain.
