From the results, we may notice that the action potential travels in both directions; from the cell body to the axon, as well as from the axon to the cell body. This is in contrast with the ideal that the action potential can only travel in one direction (and that is from the axon to the cell body). That the idea because dendrites receive information from other cells, and pass them onto the axon. The axon then relates the information to the cell body. However, we illustrated clearly with data; that the action potential may travel in both directions; however, even so, a stimulus must be applied to the cell - since in reality, the cell body will not regularly receive information from outside sources.
