摘要
The 3-dimensional structure of Golgi-impregnated neurons was studied using modern data-collecting techniques. Branch length and branch angle distributions were examined and had a wide range of observed values. These types of distributions implied a stochastic design for the bifurcating structure. No apparent pattern was found in the branching configuration. Branch lengths were studied using both centrifugal and centripetal ordering. Branching probability was not uniform over the entire dendritic tree and may be dependent on the dendritic surface area.
