Examples of the eight morphological types from [6] for which we learned supervised models. The types are: bitufted (BTC); chandelier (ChC); double bouquet (DBC); large basket (LBC); Martinotti (MC); nest basket (NBC); small basket (SBC), and the compound basket (BA) type, composed of NBC, LBC, and SBC cells. Neurogliaform (NGC) and bipolar (BP) types not shown as we omitted them from supervised classification, because we had only three cells of each. Typical features, according to [6], include: bitufted dendrites (BTC); sharply branching axons and low bouton density (LBC); and axons with spiny boutons, reaching L1 (MC); and vertical rows of boutons (ChC). Axons are drawn in blue with dendrites and somata in red. Dashed green lines indicate layer boundaries from the rat hind-limb somatosensory cortex. There are 100 μm between consecutive grid lines
