Relevant morphometrics for the DBC (above) and SBC and LBC (below) types. Top left: per-type boxplots for the morphometrics selected with RF BVI (RF BVI values shown, in blue, to the right). The axonal arbor of a typical DBC cell was radially oriented (high radial and eccentricity values), rather than circular, it did not spread far tangentially (low x_sd and width), and was mainly located below the soma (low y_std_mean and y_mean). Top right: the ten most relevant morphometrics according to KW, after removing those already shown in the left panel and those with an absolute correlation >0.90 with a better ranked morphometric (KW p-values shown, in blue, to the right). DBC cells’s dendrites were bipolar/bitufted (d.insert.radial, not shown), arborized along the radial axis (d.radial) and reached far radially (d.y_sd), while their axonal arbors were short (total_length), with wide terminal bifurcation angles (t.remote_bifurcation_angle.avg). Bottom left: per-type boxplots for the morphometrics selected with RF BVI for SBC (RF BVI values shown, in blue, to the right). SBC cells had short branches (low length.avg) and dense, local arbors (low density_bifs and euclidean_dist.avg). Bottom right: per-type boxplots for the morphometrics selected with RF BVI for LBC (RF BVI values shown, in blue, to the right). LBC cells had sharp bifurcation angles
