Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protein synthesis in neurons occurs in the cell body, or soma, where the nucleus is located. The synthesized proteins are then transported along the axon to the dendrites and terminal boutons for use in various cellular processes. Protein synthesis does not occur in the axons, dendrites, terminal boutons, or node of Ranvier.
