Dendrites in the cortex of the human brain are much longer than those in rats and most other species, because the human cortex has evolved to be much thicker than that of other species.

Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain.

The dendrites themselves could act as AND gates, or as a host of other computing devices. Mel, along with his former graduate student Yiota Poirazi (now a computational neuroscientist at the Institute ...

It had been previously shown by other researchers that around 5% of CA1 pyramidal cells had axons shooting out of their apical dendrites. In other words, the upper regions of the extended cell.

Dendrites — these thin filaments carry information from other neurons to the soma. They are the “input” part of the cell. Axon — this long projection carries information from the soma and ...

It was originally thought that dendrites couldn’t penetrate the solid electrolyte, according to Haegyeom Kim, a materials staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.

Distinct Dendrites, Distinct Rules for Learning in a Single Neuron Mouse Study April 17, 2025 Neurons and their branch extensions known as dendrites are featured within a mouse’s cerebral cortex.

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on ...

Investigators are examining whether the formation of microscopic structures inside the Boeing Dreamliner's lithium-ion batteries played a role in twin incidents that prompted the fleet to be grounded.
