Definitions:

Dendrites

Branch-like extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons or sensory inputs.

Neurotransmitters

Chemical messengers that transmit signals across a chemical synapse, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another target neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.

Myelinization

The process of forming a myelin sheath around the axons of neurons, which increases the speed at which electrical impulses propagate along the nerve cells.

Synapse

The junction between two neurons or a neuron and a muscle where information is transmitted from one to the other.
