Interpretation and Encoding of Axonal and Dendritic Locations

A)      A representation of a reconstructed neuron from the entorhinal cortex, with soma and dendrites in black and axons in red.

B)      The assessed percentage of the axonal and dendritic trees in each layer.  A reportable presence in a layer is at or above 15%.

C)      A schematic representation of the reconstructed neuron.

a.   A filled in blue box represents an above threshold presence of dendrites in a layer

b.   A red triangle represents an above threshold presence of axons in a layer.

c.   A darkened oval represents the soma location.

D)      Color encoding of axons and dendrites in a layer.

a.   An above threshold presence of axons is encoded by a red box with horizontal lines.

b.   An above threshold presence of dendrites is encoded by a blue box with vertical lines

c.   An above threshold presence of both axons and dendrites is encoded by a purple box with cross-hatching.

d.   A below threshold presence of both axons and dendrites is represented by a white box.

E)      Numeric encoding of axons and dendrites in a layer.

a.   An above threshold presence of axons is encoded by a 1.

b.   An above threshold presence of dendrites is encoded by a 2.

c.   An above threshold presence of both axons and dendrites is encoded by a 3.

d.   A below threshold presence of both axons and dendrites is encoded by a 0.
