Key Concepts

Neuron

A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system that is responsible for receiving, processing, and transmitting information through electrochemical signals. Neurons connect with other neurons, muscles, or glands, forming complex networks essential for brain function and behavior.

Dendrites

Dendrites are tree-like extensions of the neuron that primarily function to receive incoming signals from other neurons. They play a critical role in integrating synaptic input from various sources, allowing the neuron to process and propagate information accurately.
