Français

axone n.m.

Anglais

axon

The axon is the "output" part of a biological neuron. When a neuron fires, a pulse of electrical activity flows along the axon. Towards its end, or ends, the axon splits into a tree. The ends of the axon come into close contact with the dendrites of other neurons. These junctions are termed synapses. Axons may be short (a couple of millimetres) or long (e.g. the axons of the nerves that run down the legs of a reasonably large animal.)
