The SOMA (the body of the neuron) is the main metabolic region of the neuron, and can SOMETIMES receive signals from other neurons, but the DENDRITE is usually the neuronal structure which receives signals, often at tiny protuberances from the dendrite called dendritic spines, although some connections (synapses) can sometimes be on the axon (the output structure).

Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron

dendrites
The specialized cell in the nervous system that conducts signals is?
These specialized cells are called neurons.
What part of the neuron receives most of the incoming signals from other neurons?
dendrite
What is the part of the neuron that receives signals?
Dendrites are the receptors of a neuron.
What is the basis for the functional classification of neurons?
Functionally, neurons or nerve cells are classified into three types,1. Sensory or afferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals towards brain.2. Motor or efferent neuron- a neuron that carries signals away from brain.3. Inter-neuron which is present in gray matter of spinal cord and convert sensory signals into appropriate motor signals during spinal reflex.
Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
The part of the neuron that normally receives stimuli is called?
The Synaptic signals from other neurons are received by the neuron's soma and dendrites. Synapse's happens when contact is made by one neuron's axon and is received by another neuron's dendrite and soma. The synaptic signaling procedure is vital to positive neuron function.
How does synaptic integration determine if a nerve impulse is generated or not generated in a neuron?
Neurons integrate incoming signals and sum up the excitatory and inhibitory signals, integration. The excitatory neurotransmitter produces a potential change (signal). This signal pushes the neuron closer to an action potential. If the neuron receives excitatory signals chances are that the axon will transmit a nerve impulse. The inhibitory neurotransmitter produces signals that drive neurons further from an action potential. If neurons receive both the inhibitory and the excitatory signals the summing of the signals may prohibit the axon from firing.
