 Dendrite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dendrites play a critical role in integrating these synaptic inputs and in determining the extent to which action potentials are produced by the neuron.
Electrical stimulation is transmitted onto dendrites by upstream neurons via synapses which are located at various points throughout the dendritic arbor.
Although a neuron’s general dendrite architecture (such as the two dimensional architecture of Purkinje cell dendrites) is conserved across all areas of the brain in which they may be located, some measures of a neuron’s dendritic architecture may vary significantly according to its location in the brain.

 Dendrite - definition of Dendrite in Encyclopedia
In such dendrites the voltage change that results from stimulation at a synapse may extend both towards and away from the soma.
The structure and branching of a neuron's dendrites strongly influences how it integrates the input from many others, particularly those that input only weakly (more at synapse).
In biology, a dendrite is a slender, typically branched projection of a nerve cell, or "neuron," which conducts the electrical stimulation received from other cells to the body or soma of the cell from which it projects.

 Encyclopedia article on Fossil [EncycloZine]
Some pseudofossils, such as dendrites, are formed by naturally occurring fissures in the rock that get filled up by percolating minerals.
Other types of pseudofossils are kidney ore, round shapes in iron ore, and moss agates, which look like plant leaves.
They can easily be mistaken for real fossils.
