In a neuron, ribosomes are primarily found in the cell body (soma) and are often associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), contributing to protein synthesis. They can also be present in dendrites, where they play a role in local protein synthesis necessary for synaptic plasticity and neuronal function. Ribosomes are less common in the axon, as this region relies more on proteins synthesized in the cell body.
