Using the image above, let’s examine the three major components of a neuron. The soma is the cell body and contains the nucleus and other components of a typical cell. There are different types ...

Figure 2: Dendritic distribution of active channels in different neuron types ... or it increases with increasing distance from the soma. As mentioned above, I h has also been suggested to ...

Activation of a small fraction of the tens of thousands of excitatory synapses on a pyramidal neuron can probably evoke dendritic spikes, but these events do not always propagate to the soma and ...

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...
