Overview

Soma Kernels

Soma Radius (Reported)

The radius of the soma as reported in the morphology file.

Soma Minimum Radius

The minimum radius of the soma as based on the reported profile points and the root samples of all the connected arbors (or stems).

Soma Maximum Radius

The maximum radius of the soma as based on the reported profile points and the root samples of all the connected arbors (or stems).

Soma Average Radius

The average radius of the soma as based on the reported profile points and the root samples of all the connected arbors (or stems).

Soma Surface Area (Reported)

The approximate surface area of the soma based on the reported radius in the morphology file in (μm²).

Soma Volume

The approximate volume of the soma based on the reported radius in the morphology file in (μm²).

Number of Profile Points

Number of profile points of the soma as reported in the morphology file.

Branches Kernels

Morphology Bounding Box

We summarize the morphology bounding box by

  • BBox PMin: The pMin of the bounding box.
  • BBox PMin:The pMax of the bounding box.
  • BBox Center:The center of the bounding box.
  • BBox Bounds:The dimensions of the bounding box

Number of Stems

The number of arbors that emanate directly from the soma. Each stem is basically an independent subtree of branches.

Number of Sections

The total number of sections (or branches) in the morphology.

Number of Bifurcations

The total number of bifurcations in the morphology.

Number of Trifurcations

The total number of trifurcations (or sections with three children) in the morphology.

Branch Type

Apical Dendrites

The total number of apical dendrites in the morphology. Normally, an excitatory neuronal morphology has a single apical dendrite, but we explicitly added this parameter in case the morphology has more than one.

Basal Dendrites

The total number of basal dendrites in the morphology.

Axons

The total number of axons in the morphology. Normally, a neuronal morphology has a single axon, but we explicitly added this parameter in case the morphology has more than one or has no axons reconstructed.

Number of Neurites (Arbors)

The total number of the arbors (independent trees) in the morphology whether connected to the soma or not'

Number of Tips (Terminal Tips)

The total number number of terminal tips in the morphology.

Maximum Branching Order

The maximum branching order of all the arbors in the morphology.

Maximum Path Distance

The maximum distance along an arbor from its root sample to its most far leaf in the morphology.

Number of Samples

The total number of samples (or digitized points) in the morphology.

Minimum Number of Samples per Section

The lowest number of samples a section has.

Maximum Number of Samples per Section

The largest number of samples a section has.

Average Number of Samples per Section

The average number of samples a section has.

Minimum Sample Radius

The radius of the smallest sample in the morphology.

Maximum Sample Radius

The radius of the largest sample in the morphology.

Average Sample Radius

The avaerage radius of all the samples sample in the morphology.

Number of Zero-radius Samples

The total number of zero-radii samples (epsilon value 1e-3 or 1 nm) in the morphology.

Local Bifurcation Angles

The local bifurcation angle is computed from the first two samples along the section.

Global Bifurcation Angles

The global bifurcation angle is computed from the first and last samples of the section.

Total Morphology Length

The total length of the morophology branches.

Minimum Section Length

The length of the shortest section in the morphology.

Maximum Section Length

The length of the longest section in the morphology.

Average Section Lenght

The average section length in the morphology.

Number of Short Sections

The total number of short sections (length is smaller than the sum of the radii of the terminal samples).

Minimum Segment Length

The length of the shortest segment in the morphology.

Maximum Segment Length

The length of the longest segment in the morphology.

Average Segment Lenght

The average segment length in the morphology.

Number of Zero-length Segments

The total number of zero-length segments (or duplicate samples).
