Definitions:

Dendrites

Branch-like structures of neurons that receive messages from other neurons.

Axons

Long, slender projections of nerve cells that transmit electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.

Synapses

The junctions between nerve cells where impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another, crucial for the functioning of the nervous system.

Biological Basis

The underlying genetic, neurological, or physiological factors that contribute to a specific behavior, trait, or condition.
