Neurons are the fundamental cells of the nervous system. They're able to communicate with one another and with cells in other types of tissues (e.g., muscles, glands), and they can carry information from the rest of the body (e.g., sensory information) to the brain.

Feb 28, 2022 · Neurons can have more than one set of dendrites, known as dendritic trees. How many they have generally depends on their role. For instance, Purkinje cells are a special type of neuron found in...

The dendritic tree wraps around the cell body and receives signals from other neurons. The end of the axon has branching axon terminals that release neurotransmitters into a gap called the synaptic cleft between the terminals and the dendrites of the next neuron.

A neuron has three main parts: dendrites, an axon, and a cell body or soma (see image below), which can be represented as the branches, roots and trunk of a tree, respectively. A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells.

Feb 25, 2025 · Dendrites look like branches of a tree and receive messages for the cell. Neurons communicate with each other by sending chemicals, called neurotransmitters, across a tiny space called a synapse, between the axons and dendrites of nearby neurons.

Oct 23, 2018 · Neuronal morphology is an essential element for brain activity and function. We take advantage of current availability of brain-wide neuron digital reconstructions of the Pyramidal cells from a...

Jul 14, 2018 · The methodology consists in using different strategies for decomposing the dendritic tree along its hierarchies, allowing the identification of relevant parts (possibly related to specific neuronal functions) for classification tasks.

Dec 21, 2023 · The cell body of a neuron, also known as the soma, is typically located at the center of the dendritic tree in multipolar neurons. It is spherical or polygonal in shape and relatively small, making up one-tenth of the total cell volume.

Dec 2, 2020 · The tree of life describes the evolution of life and seeks to define the relationships between species. Likewise, the tree of cell types aims to organize cells in the brain into groups and describe their relationships to each other.

Oct 10, 2012 · New neurons, originating from transient amplifying cells that become detached from the ventricular zone (the inner layer of the cortex, where progenitors reside), migrate to their final...
