Quantitative morphological analysis between dendritic trees of GI1 in the control and the GI2-ablated (−GI2) animals
| n | Number of branch points | Total length (μm) | Total surface area (μm2) | Total volume (μm3) | Fractal dimension | Tree asymmetry | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 5 | 243 ± 40 | 8751 ± 1311 | 79,506 ± 13660 | 105,699 ± 3310 | 1.28 ± 0.03 | 0.56 ± 0.01 |
| −GI2 | 5 | 230 ± 49 | 7769 ± 830 | 70,116 ± 8432 | 91,537 ± 15,755 | 1.25 ± 0.04 | 0.55 ± 0.03 |
