수상돌기는 신경세포의 세포체에서 뻗어져 나오는, 다른 신경세포로부터 전기화학적 신호를 받는 역할을 하는 돌기입니다.

Dendritic Arbor

A side view of a JAM-B cell showing the asymmetrical dendritic field.[1]

The dendrites of a neuron are thin and branch often, close to the cell body. Based on the specific pattern of the dendrites branching, or a neuron's dendritic arbor, neuroscientists are able to classify the neuron. JAM-B cells a particularly notable example of how a cell's dendritic arbor can be used to identify a cell. In about 85% of JAM-B cells, there exists a marked asymmetry in the dendritic arbor.[1]
