Dendrites

‘Dendrites, the branch-like projections of neurons, were once believed to be passive wiring in the brain.

 

Now, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered that these dendrites do more than just relay information from one neuron to the next. They actively process information, multiplying the brain’s processing power.’

… I believe that we can form new dendrites all the time.
