Neuronal morphology is an essential element for brain activity and function. We take advantage of current availability of brain-wide neuron digital reconstructions of the Pyramidal cells from a mouse brain, and analyze several emergent features of brain-wide neuronal morphology. We observe that axonal trees are self-affine while dendritic trees are self-similar. We also show that tree size appear to be random, independent of the number of dendrites within single neurons. Moreover, we consider inhomogeneous branching model which stochastically generates rooted 3-Cayley trees for the brain-wide neuron topology. Based on estimated order-dependent branching probability from actual axonal and dendritic trees, our inhomogeneous model quantitatively captures a number of topological features including size and shape of both axons and dendrites. This sheds lights on a universal mechanism behind the topological formation of brain-wide axonal and dendritic trees.

Reconstructing multiple molecularly defined neurons from individual brains and across multiple brain regions can reveal organizational principles of the nervous system. However, high resolution imaging of the whole brain is a technically challenging and slow process. Recently, oblique light sheet microscopy has emerged as a rapid imaging method that can provide whole brain fluorescence microscopy at a voxel size of 0.4 by 0.4 by 2.5 cubic microns. On the other hand, complex image artifacts due to whole-brain coverage produce apparent discontinuities in neuronal arbors. Here, we present connectivity-preserving methods and data augmentation strategies for supervised learning of neuroanatomy from light microscopy using neural networks. We quantify the merit of our approach by implementing an end-to-end automated tracing pipeline. Lastly, we demonstrate a scalable, distributed implementation that can reconstruct the large datasets that sub-micron whole-brain images produce.

A rotated odometer is an infinite interval exchange transformation (IET) obtained as a composition of the von Neumann-Kakutani map and a finite IET of intervals of equal length. In this paper, we consider rotated odometers for which the finite IET is of intervals of length $2^{-N}$, for some $N geq 1$. We show that every such system is measurably isomorphic to a $mathbb{Z}$-action on a rooted tree, and that the unique minimal aperiodic subsystem of this action is always measurably isomorphic to the action of the adding machine. We discuss the applications of this work to the study of group actions on binary trees.

We want to analyse EEG recordings in order to investigate the phonemic categorization at a very early stage of auditory processing. This problem can be modelled by a supervised classification of functional data. Discrimination is explored via a logis tic functional linear model, using a wavelet representation of the data. Different procedures are investigated, based on penalized likelihood and principal component reduction or partial least squares reduction.
It has been demonstrated that excitable media with a tree structure performed better than other network topologies, it is natural to consider neural networks defined on Cayley trees. The investigation of a symbolic space called tree-shift of finite t ype is important when it comes to the discussion of the equilibrium solutions of neural networks on Cayley trees. Entropy is a frequently used invariant for measuring the complexity of a system, and constant entropy for an open set of coupling weights between neurons means that the specific network is stable. This paper gives a complete characterization for entropy spectrum of neural networks on Cayley trees and reveals whether the entropy bifurcates when the coupling weights change.
An individuals reaction time data to visual stimuli have usually been represented in Experimental Psychology by means of an ex-Gaussian function (EGF). In most previous works, researchers have mainly aimed at finding a meaning for the parameters of t he EGF function in relation to psychological phenomena. We will focus on interpreting the reaction times (RTs) of a group of individuals rather than a single persons RT, which is relevant for the different contexts of social sciences. In doing so, the same model as for the Ideal Gases (IG) (an inanimate system of non-interacting particles) emerges from the experimental RT data. Both systems are characterised by a collective parameter which is k_BT in the case of the system of particles and what we have called life span parameter for the system of brains. Similarly, we came across a Maxwell-Boltzmann-type distribution for the system of brains which provides a natural and more complete characterisation of the collective time response than has ever been provided before. Thus, we are able to know about the behaviour of a single individual in relation to the coetaneous group to which they belong and through the application of a physical law. This leads to a new entropy-based methodology for the classification of the individuals forming the system which emerges from the physical law governing the system of brains. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work in the literature reporting on the emergence of a physical theory (IG) from human RT experimental data.
