Examples

  • Golgi-impregnated Purkinje cell with the full extent of its dendritic arborizations.

    Black Reaction - La reazione nera 2010

  • Resemblances of this kind show that there is an underlying unity of response in the various parts of the neurone in spite of their differentiation into axon, dendrites or terminal arborizations.

    Edgar Adrian - Nobel Lecture 1965

  • The tangential fibers consist of (a) the collaterals of the pyramidal and polymorphous cells and of the cells of Martinotti; (b) the branching axons of Golgi’s cells; (c) the collaterals and terminal arborizations of the projection, commissural, or association fibers.

    IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon 1918

  • Lateral arborizations of the dendrites of the mitral cells and the connection of neighboring glomeruli by the axons of small cells of the glomeruli and the return of impulses of the mitral cells by collaterals either directly or through the interpolation of granule cells to the dendrites of the mitral cells reinforce the discharge of the mitral cells along their axons.

    IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves 1918

  • The outer plexiform layer is much thinner than the inner; but, like it, consists of a dense net-work of minute fibrils derived from the processes of the horizontal cells of the preceding layer, and the outer processes of the rod and cone bipolar granules, which ramify in it, forming arborizations around the enlarged ends of the rod fibers and with the branched foot plates of the cone fibers.

    X. The Organs of the Senses and the Common Integument. 1c. 1. The Tunics of the Eye 1918

  • They terminate in the nucleus of the trapezoid body in diffuse arborizations and peculiar end plaques or acoustic calyces of yellowish color which fuse with the cell bodies.

    IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves 1918

  • These axons terminate in arborizations around the cells in the lateral geniculate body, pulvinar, and superior colliculus which constitute the lower or primary visual centers.

    IX. Neurology. 5b. The Optic Nerve 1918

  • The visceral divisions are distributed to the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic viscera, to reach which they pass through the sympathetic trunk, and many of the fibers form arborizations around the ganglion cells of this trunk.

    IX. Neurology. 2. Development of the Nervous System 1918

  • From the opposite end numerous dendrites extend into the inner plexiform layer, where they branch and form flattened arborizations at different levels.

    X. The Organs of the Senses and the Common Integument. 1c. 1. The Tunics of the Eye 1918

  • At the receiving side, however, it appears that the granule neurons of the dorsal blade show more extensive arborizations than those of the ventral blade.
