Table 2.

Morphological parameters analyzed from 3D neuronal reconstructions.

Program Parameter/description
Neuronstudio Sholl length (μm) – Total length of all branches per 10 μm Sholl radius
Cumulative Sholl length (μm) – Cumulative length of all branches per 10 μm Sholl radius
Sholl branch points – Total number of branch points per 10 μm Sholl radius
Branch length/branch order – Average branch length per branch order
L-Measure Total number of primary dendrites stemming from the soma
Total length of all branches per branch order
Number of branch points per branch order
Number of branches per branch order
Number of tips per branch order
Maximum radial distance (μm) – Euclidean distance between the soma and the farthest compartment reached by a dendrite
Maximum branch order per 10 μm Sholl radius
Contraction per branch order – ratio between the Euclidean distance and branch path distance calculated per branch order
Partition asymmetry – where T1 and T2 are the number of tips of each daughter tree. Computed at every branch point and plotted as function of branch order
