Table 1. Neurite outgrowth parameters analyzed with the BD AttoVisionTM V1.6 Software from BD Bioscience.

Neurite Outgrowth Parameters Description
Neurite Maximum Length Maximum length (pixels) of the longest neurite segment for each cell body.
Neurite Total Length Total length (pixels) of all segments for each cell body.
Neurite Average Length Average length (pixels) of all segments for each cell body. (Total length/segment count)
Neurite Tree Count Number of neurite trees from cell body.
Neurite Segment Count Total number of segments between node points per cell body. Node points can be from secondary, tertiary, etc., branching or intersection with segments from other cell bodies.
Neurite Branches Count Total number of primary, secondary, tertiary, etc., branches per cell body.
Neurite Node Point Total number of points where secondary, tertiary, etc., branches exist per cell body. (Number of segments—number of branches)
