Multiscale morpho-barcoding identifies region-specific and scale-dependent neuronal organization, indicating potential in disease analysis.

Key Points

To develop a framework that analyzes neuronal morphology's complexity and its impact on circuit organization across different brain regions and scales.
Introduced multiscale morpho-barcoding (MMB) to encode whole-brain neuronal morphology into symbolic barcodes.
Analyzed 1,876 fully reconstructed mouse neurons, accounting for 3,776 arbors and 2.63 million predicted presynaptic sites.
Identified region-specific and scale-dependent morpho-patterns of neuronal organization.
Discriminated major anatomical divisions and resolved thalamic circuit classes using MMB, surpassing previous projection strength-based representations.
Revealed that neuronal morphology is region specific, with distinct combinations of morpho-motifs defining regional identity.
Demonstrated that neuronal organization varies across different morphological scales, impacting classification and circuit architecture.
