Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites receive input from many other neurons and carry those signals to the cell body. If stimulated enough, a neuron fires an action potential-an electrical impulse that then stimulates other neurons. Large networks of these neurons communicate with each other to generate thoughts and behavior.
Detailed explanation-2: -The functions of dendrites are to receive signals from other neurons, to process these signals, and to transfer the information to the soma of the neuron.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface area of the cell body. These tiny protrusions receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma.
