What is the difference between a dendrite and axon of a neuron?
Hi Everyone;
I am wondering what the difference is between a dendrite and axon of a neuron. Do they regulate the input and output of signals of a neuron?
Any shared thoughts to this question will be appreciated.
Thank you
George

Thanks so much for the prompt and well thought out replies. Just out of curiousity, are there examples of neurological or mental disorders in which the dendrites and axons are effected?
