In biological 
neurons 
dendrites are extensions of the cell body's normal input area.  They resemble branches of a tree.  
In Netlab dendrites are approximated using 
bundles. Within the Netlab abstraction, bundles connected to a neuron's input space are indistinguishable in functionality to the extension of a neuron's input-space loosely represented in dendrites.
