  "summary": "Neurons receive thousands of signals via tree-like extensions called dendrites. Until now, these dendrites were thought to be relatively smooth cables that conduct electrical signals to the cell body. An international research team led by University Hospital of Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn and the DZNE has determined that this picture is incomplete.",
