Layer length (branched structure)

 

Use in conjunction with the Open Delineations tool in Neurolucida to quantify virtual/anatomical regions.

Procedure

  1. In Neurolucida: Designate the layers and save the data file. See Open Delineations for details.
  2. In Neurolucida Explorer: Open the data file.
  3. Select the Contours and Dendrites or Axons labels in the Tracing data panel.
  4. Select Analysis>Branched Structure Analysis>Layer Length.
