Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites of a neuron are the first ones to receive electrical impulses. The cell body, also called the soma, is the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus. The cell body connects to the dendrites, which bring information to the neuron, and the axon, which sends information to other neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
