Tree size of axons and dendrites from single neurons. (a) shows scatter plots of average dendrite tree size and number of dendrites against axon tree size from single neurons; each dot represents measurements from one neuron. Pearson correlation analysis suggests no significant correlation with p = 0.98 for average dendrites tree size and p = 0.23 for number of dendrites. (b) shows the tree size of dendrites in relation with the number of dendrites in single neurons; each dot represents measurements from one dendrite. Gray lines represent the average cross vertical points for each number of dendrites. Pearson correlation analysis suggests no significant correlation between the number of dendrites and average dendrite size (p = 0.061). (c) shows the histogram of standard deviations of average dendrite tree sizes from 1000 random shuffling of dendrites among 7 neurons (each of which has 7 dendrites); gray bar shows the standard deviation of average dendrite tree sizes from the actual 7 neurons.
