Neuronal growth cones are situated on the very tips of nerve cells on structures called axons and dendrites.
A neuron receives signals from other neurons through fibers called dendrites, which extend from the cell body like the arms of an octopus.
These branching threads resemble the branchings of a tree and are called dendrites ("tree" G).
The long outgrowths on immune system dendritic cells are also called dendrites.
When the gene's activity is reduced, the number of finer connections, called dendrites, is reduced in brain areas involved in reading.
A neuron receives signals from neighboring cells through branched, cellular extensions called dendrites.
According to this theory, brains grow as new connecting fibers, called synapses and dendrites, proliferate around a fixed number of brain cells after birth.
Neurons are cell bodies with long extensions, called dendrites, that lie adjacent to one another in a gigantic web.
