Conduction through dendrites and cell bodies of neurons is not in the form of action potentials. Instead, it is more passive and gradual, spreading through cable properties of the neuron. The resulting signals are EPSPs (excitatory postsynaptic potentials) or IPSPs (inhibitory postsynaptic potentials), which can summate or cancel each other out to reach threshold and initiate an action potential.
