TABLE 2.
Features of a single neuron.
Features | Description |
Distance from soma to the center of skeleton mass | A metric to measure symmetricity centered by soma |
Total path length | The physical length of all the skeleton paths |
The number of branching points | |
Median segment length | The median segment length of all the segments starts and ends at irreducible nodes |
3D Sholl Analysis (Sholl, 1953) | Count the intersections to spheres centered on the root node |
Average branching radian | The mean of the branching angles |
Average tortuosity | The average value of the ratio of the path length to the Euclidean distance between irreducible nodes |
Asymmetry | The distance of the soma node to the arbor center of mass |
Typical radius | The Euclidian distance of the dendritic arbor points to the center of mass |
Fractal dimension | Measures similarity across scales |
Root node radius | The radius of the root node which is normally the soma |
Total dendrite path length | If the dendrite segments are classified |
Longest segment path length | |
Convex hull volume | |
