From your first comment, Debivort, you raise the issue of the synapse being connected to the soma, but this is not necessarily wrong, as presynaptic axons often synapse with postsynaptic neuron's body, creating an axosomatic synapse. Not all synapses are axodendritic synapses. See this image. There are some issues to clear up with the terms ...
The neuron cell has three components – dendrites, soma, and axon as shown in Figure 1. Dendrites, which have the shape of a tree with branches, called arbor, receive the message from other neurons with which the neuron is connected via synapses. The action potential received by each dendrite from the synapse is called the postsynaptic potential.

The two main neuronal classes in the cerebral cortex are excitatory projection neurons (around 70-80%) and inhibitory interneurons (around 20–30%). [2] Neurons are often grouped into a cluster known as a nucleus where they usually have roughly similar connections and functions. [3] Nuclei are connected to other nuclei by tracts of white matter.
