Dendrites

Dendrites (from Greek dendron, 'tree') are the branched projections of a neuron that act to conduct the electrical stimulation received from other cells to and from the cell body, or soma of the neuron from which the dendrites project.

Dendrites were once believed to merely convey stimulation passively, without action potentials and without activation of voltage-gated ion channels.

Most neurons are referred to as "bipolar"; they have a cell body and many small extensions, called dendrites, at one end which receive information (Fig. 1).

A ropelike bundle of neuron fibers (axons and dendrites) tightly wrapped in connective tissue.
nerve fiber
A filamentous process extending from the cell body of a neuron and conducting the nerve impulse; an axon.

In many neurons, nerve impulses are generated in short branched fibers called dendrites and also in the cell body. The impulses are then conducted along the axon, which usually branches several times close to its end.

cyton Cell body; contains nucleus and some other organelles but excludes processes extending from cell. For example, the neurocyton is the nerve cell body, excluding the axon and dendrites.

Ab42 (the 42-amino-acid form of Ab) induces membrane lipid peroxidation in synapses and dendrites resulting in impairment of membrane ion-motive ATPases and glucose and glutamate transporters.
