Dendrites are short, branched extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They are located at the cell body of the neuron, and their primary role is to receive and process information from other cells in order to pass it on to the neuron’s axon. This information is received through the electrochemical processes of synapses. Dendrites can also play a role in determining the strength of signals sent to other neurons.
