During this period, neurons change their morphology from a simple bipolar shape into a mature complex shape. Neurons develop dendrites and extend long or short axons that travel through a complex path until reaching target cells and form functional and accurate neuronal circuits.engjournal article10.4103/1673-5374.1826831876-7958
