In general, the signal travels across the synapse from the axon of one cell to the dendrite of the next. |
In the silver case, there is a particularly fine featherlike dendrite of native silver from the La Nevada mine, Chihuahua, Mexico. |
Each little bump or spine on each dendrite is a synaptic connection from another nerve cell axon terminal. |
There can be thousands of synapses scattered over the dendrites and the dendritic spines that project from each dendrite on a single neuron. |
These axon runners from one cell connect through synapses to dendrite runners on other cells. |
The foundryman can control the fineness of dendrite structure by controlling the rate of solidification. |
