Nuclear eccentricity can be attributed to the presence of excess axonal cytoskeleton between the nucleus and axon hillock, which causes chromatolysis.
12.
The stimuli that have traveled down the dendrites converge at the axon hillock, where they are summed to determine the neuronal response.
13.
Ultimately it will create a new action potential at its axon hillock to release neurotransmitters and pass on the information to yet another neighboring neuron.
14.
The axon leaves the soma at a swelling called the axon hillock, and can extend for great distances, giving rise to hundreds of branches.
15.
If the sum of the stimuli reaches a certain voltage, known as the threshold potential, depolarization continues from the axon hillock down the axon.
16.
If several such events occur in a short time, the axon hillock may become sufficiently depolarized for the voltage-gated sodium channels to open.
17.
These filaments are found in greater concentrations at the axon hillock and at the beginning portion of an axon in an SGC of the sympathetic ganglia.
18.
This all-or-nothing phenomenon originates at the axon hillock, resulting in a depolarization of the intracellular environment which propagates down the axon.
19.
Action potentials begin near the axon hillock and propagate down the length of the axon, but they also propagate backward through the soma into the dendritic arbor.
20.
That is to say, it will create a new action potential at its axon hillock, releasing neurotransmitters and passing on the information to yet another neighboring neuron.
