Abstract
Dendrites play an important role in neuronal function and connectivity. This chapter introduces the first section of the book focusing on the morphological features of dendritic tree structures and the role of dendritic trees in the circuit. We provide an overview of quantitative procedures for data collection, analysis, and modeling of dendrite shape. Our main focus lies on the description of morphological complexity and how one can use this description to unravel neuronal function in dendritic trees and neural circuits.
