Topological characterization of neuronal arbor morphology via sequence representation: II - global alignment

Gillette, Todd A.; Hosseini, Parsa; Ascoli, Giorgio A. (BioMed Central, 2015-07-04)

Background The increasing abundance of neuromorphological data provides both the opportunity and the challenge to compare massive numbers of neurons from a wide diversity of sources efficiently and effectively. We implemented ...
Older adults report moderately more detailed autobiographical memories

Gardner, Robert, S; Mainetti, Matteo; Ascoli, Giorgio, A (Frontiers Media, 2015-05-19)

Autobiographical memory (AM) is an essential component of the human mind. Although the amount and types of subjective detail (content) that compose AMs constitute important dimensions of recall, age-related changes in ...
Topological characterization of neuronal arbor morphology via sequence representation. I. Motif analysis

Gillette, Todd A.; Ascoli, Giorgio A. (BioMed Central, 2015-07-10)

Background. The morphology of neurons offers many insights into developmental processes and signal processing. Numerous reports have focused on metrics at the level of individual branches or whole arbors; however, no ...
