## Legacy
Fans of *Day of the Tentacle* created a webcomic, *The Day After the Day of the Tentacle*, using the game\'s graphics. The 1993 LucasArts game *Zombies Ate My Neighbors* features a stage dedicated to *Day of the Tentacle*. The artists for *Day of the Tentacle* shared office space with ... | 901 | Day of the Tentacle | 5 |

## Tolls
Tolls are only collected from westbound traffic headed to Menlo Park at the toll plaza on the Fremont side of the bay. All-electronic tolling has been in effect since 2020, and drivers may either pay using the FasTrak electronic toll collection device or using the license plat... | 870 | Dumbarton Bridge (California) | 2 |

A **dendrite** (from Greek δένδρον *déndron*, \"tree\") or **dendron** is a branched cytoplasmic process that extends from a nerve cell that propagates the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project. Electrical stimu... | 775 | Dendrite | 0 |

## Dendrite development {#dendrite_development}
During the development of dendrites, several factors can influence differentiation. These include modulation of sensory input, environmental pollutants, body temperature, and drug use. For example, rats raised in dark environments were found to have a reduced... | 394 | Dendrite | 1 |

## Types of dendritic patterns {#types_of_dendritic_patterns}
Dendritic arborization, also known as dendritic branching, is a multi-step biological process by which neurons form new dendritic trees and branches to create new synapses. Dendrites in many organisms assume different morphological patterns of b... | 744 | Dendrite | 2 |

## Plasticity
Dendrites themselves appear to be capable of plastic changes during the adult life of animals, including invertebrates. Neuronal dendrites have various compartments known as functional units that are able to compute incoming stimuli. These functional units are involved in processing input and... | 748 | Dendrite | 3 |

## Definitions
The UN defines a disaster as \"a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale\". It results from hazards in places where people live in exposed or vulnerable conditions. Some human failures make communities vulnerable to climate hazards.

## Types
The scale of a disaster matters. *Small-scale disasters* only affect local communities but need help beyond the affected community. *Large-scale disasters* affect wider society and need national or international help.
It is usual to divide disasters into natural or human-made. Recently the divide... | 857 | Disaster | 2 |
