Mouse and human striatal projection neurons compared - somatodendritic arbor, spines and in silico analyses
Fig 5
Dendritic diameter as function of distance to the soma.
(A) Best fit for primary, intermediate and terminal dendritic segments, boxplots for segments lengths. Mean values are shown in the insets for base and end diameters, segment lengths, exponential decay or linear taper rates. Dots correspond to the reconstructed points of the complete dendrites (47 complete mouse dendrites and 35 complete human dendrites). (B) Mean diameter and mean length of the primary, intermediate and terminal segments of the complete dendrites (left to right, respectively). (C) Diameter of a given dendritic segment d is linearly proportional to the total dendritic length L of the distal part of a dendritic branch originating from that segment (see inset; arrows point out a dendritic node and corresponding dendritic subtree in red).
