Neuron type classification in rat brain based on integrative convolutional and tree-based recurrent neural networks

Abstract The study of cellular complexity in the nervous system based on anatomy has shown more practical and objective advantages in morphology than other perspectives on molecular, physiological, and evolutionary aspects. However, morphology-based neuron type classification in the whole rat brain...
