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
Surface area
Post-synapse number Number of postsynaptic sites
Pre-synapse number Number of presynaptic sites
