Figure 2.

Application of the box-counting method to 2D image of type 1 neuron from the monkey dentate nucleus: (a) the whole image is covered with a set of squares and squares which cover dendrites are counted. (b) Log-log plot between numbers of squares (N) and square size (r) is fitted by a straight line. The square sizes (r) are taken by geometric progression. (c) Modification of square sizes (from 1 to 4096 pixels) illustrates interval of scaling and accurate BD. The linear equation between log⁡N and log⁡r is shown in upper part of graphs, where D_B is the absolute value of the slope and R is the corresponding correlation coefficient.
