Dendrogram

A dendrogram is a visual representation of a tree structure (basic features, connectivity and length). You can access it via Analyze>Neuron data>Structure.

  • Neurolucida Explorer uses the colors from the tracing.
  • The origin of the tree is at the left side of the dendrogram.
  • Branches are represented by horizontal lines.
  • Nodes are represented by vertical lines.
  • Spines, synapses and varicosities: Show on the segments or show quantities (via Display menu).
  • The horizontal axis is to scale; the vertical axis is not.
  • Neurolucida Explorer generates separate dendrograms for the axons and the dendrites.

Dendrogram menu options

Once the dendrogram is displayed, you have access to several menus in the Dendrogram window. You can change colors, display or hide lengths, branch orders, and units, and adjust scaling in the window.
