What Structures Are Involved in Brain Connectivity?
Brain connectivity is primarily mediated by neuronal cells and glial cells. Neurons, which are the primary signaling units, consist of dendrites, a cell body (soma), and an axon. Dendrites receive incoming signals, while axons transmit signals to other neurons. Glial cells, including astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia, provide support, insulation, and immune protection to neurons.
