dendrites in English

noun
1
a short branched extension of a nerve cell, along which impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.
Axons send signals to other cells and dendrites receive them.
2
a crystal or crystalline mass with a branching, treelike structure.
Not only were neurons structured with more dendrites , they also ‘fired’ electrical signals more rapidly and sustained their firing for longer periods of time, the study showed.
