Morphometric features of ChAT-IR dorsal horn neurons from monkey (n = 10 neurons)a

Solidity Aspect ratio Angle (°) Fractal dimension L total (μm) No. of primary dendrites No. of endings L soma (μm) l soma (μm) % dorsal
0.011 ± 0.004 8.72 ± 1.72 94.6 ± 4.6 1.040 ± 0.009 326.9 ± 29.1 2.7 ± 0.2 5.2 ± 0.5 18.8 ± 0.8 10.5 ± 0.7 54.6 ± 7.2

a Data are mean ± SEM. The analysis was performed on projection in the parasagittal plane of neurons reconstructed using their ChAT immunoreactivity (n = 10). See Materials and Methods for the calculation of first four parameters.

L total, rostrocaudal length of the neuron; No. of primary dendrites, number of processing arising directly from the cell body; No. of endings, number of final processes; L and l soma, rostrocaudal and dorsoventral, respectively, maximal size of ChAT-IR somata; % dorsal, percentage of the neuronal surface located dorsally to the soma.
