Morphological variability between neuronal classes suggests different functional properties. Effect of dendritic morphology on cellular (electro)physiology? Dendritic/axonal growth influence on synaptic connectivity? Morphological variability within neuronal classes…?

Conclusions Stochastic and statistical algorithms are suitable to generate libraries of non-identical neurons within specific anatomical families and neuritic interaction schemes.   Basic geometrical parameters (and connection rules) are available in the literature in an extremely dispersed fashion for many morphological classes and brain regions.   The algorithmic generation of anatomically accurate virtual neurons may provide sufficient data amplification and data compression to establish, within a foreseeable future, a morphological database for an entire mammalian brain.   Computer graphics applied to neuroanatomy is an extremely useful tool for scientific visualization and education, even with currently available desktop computers.
