US Patent 8090167 Neuronal measurement tool

A neuronal measurement tool including: an input module, a grouping module, a metric selection module, a statistical test selection module, a raw measurement module, a clustering module and a statistical test module. The input module inputs digitally reconstructed neuronal morphologies. The grouping module groups the digitally reconstructed neuronal morphologies into groups. The metric selection module selects at least one metric of interest. The statistical test selection module selects a statistical test method. The raw measurement module gathers raw measurements associated with the metric(s) of interest on the digitally reconstructed neuronal morphologies. The clustering module clusters the raw measurements into groups and the statistical test module performs the statistical test method between the raw measurements clustered in the groups.
