Metric analysis methods used to study neuronal arborizations are reviewed and discussed. The analysis methods considered are those examining the spatial orientation and density of the whole dendritic field of a neuron, the metrics of dendritic segments and the bifurcation angles. General variables indicating the size of the soma and the dendritic field are indicated. In addition, the instrumentation used for providing 3-dimensional data for metric analyses and the shrinkage of Golgi-stained neurons are discussed.
本文综述并讨论了用于研究神经元分支的度量分析方法。所考虑的分析方法包括那些检查神经元整个树突场的空间取向和密度、树突节段的度量以及分支角度的方法。文中指出了表示胞体和树突场大小的一般变量。此外，还讨论了用于为度量分析提供三维数据的仪器以及高尔基染色神经元的收缩情况。
