They function as an "antennae" of the neuron and are covered by thousands of synapses. The dendritic membrane under the synapse (the post-synaptic membrane) has many ... The axon hillock is where the axon is joined to the cell. It is from here that the electrical firing known as an action potential usually occurs.

The integrative zone, which consists of the axon hillock domain, summates the postsynaptic potentials and initiates an action potential. ... This approach to understanding postsynaptic potential summation and action potential initiation is an excellent example of function following form that students appreciate.

Fascicles of microtubules occur only in the axon hillock and initial segment and nowhere else in the neuron. Therefore, they are the principal identifying mark. Some speculations are presented on the relation between these special structural features and the special function of the initial segment.
