  • Neuron Cell Body: How Dendrites Collect Information - Neuroscience Explained
    The cell body of a neuron collects information from dendrites.

    Here's why:

    * Dendrites are the branched extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors. They act like the "antennae" of the neuron.

    * The cell body (soma) is the central part of the neuron, containing the nucleus and other essential organelles. It integrates the signals received from dendrites.

    * Axon is the long, slender projection that carries signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.

    So, information flows from dendrites to the cell body and then to the axon.
