Dendrite
noun
A part of a neuron that receives signals from other neurons.
The dendrite of the neuron receives information and sends it to the cell body.
Often appears as...
- dendritic branching
- synaptic input to the dendrite

noun
A crystal or a part of a crystal branching out from the main body.
The dendrite growth in the crystal gives it a unique pattern.
Often appears as...
- dendrite mineral inclusion
- dendritic pattern

Pro Tip 1/3Neuron Connection
Dendrites in neuroscience are crucial for neurons to connect and communicate.
Neurons form networks through their dendrites.
Pro Tip 2/3Receive, 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.
Pro Tip 3/3Branch-Like Structures
Dendrites can branch extensively to form complex trees, increasing connection potential.
Medications may influence how dendrite trees branch and change neural connections.

all those things, and there will be groups of neurons that very specifically respond to that when you think about those things. So you can do a lot of research at that level. Um, so this is a neuron. Here you have its sort of input region. This is called the dendrite, in red.
