Quantification of microglial activation through morphometric analysis has long been a staple
of the neuroimmunologist's toolkit. Microglial morphological phenomics can be conducted …

It is well established that microglial form and function are inextricably linked. In recent years,
the traditional view that microglial form ranges between “ramified resting” and “activated …

The cosmic web is the largest scale manifestation of the anisotropic gravitational collapse of
matter. It represents the transitional stage between linear and non-linear structures and …

Dendritic arborizations of many neurons are patterned by a process called self-avoidance, in
which branches arising from a single neuron repel each other,,,,,,. By minimizing gaps and …

Fractals are mathematical constructs that show self-similarity over a range of scales and non-
integer (fractal) dimensions. Owing to these properties, fractal geometry can be used to …

The natural complexity of the brain, its hierarchical structure, and the sophisticated
topological architecture of the neurons organized in micronetworks and macronetworks are …

This volume highlights the growing power and efficacy of the fractal geometry in
understanding how to analyze living phenomena and complex shapes. In March 2000 …

Despite their wide use, the physiological relevance of organotypic slices remains
controversial. Such cultures are prepared at 5 days postnatal. Although some local circuitry …

Because the properties of objects are largely determined by their geometric features, shape
analysis and classification are essential to almost every applied scientific and technological …
