Computer-aided neuron tree reconstruction allows an anatomist to spatially visualize and statistically summarize the tree branching pattern. Trees which span several serial tissue sections present a difficult reconstruction problem. Segments of trees from different sections are traced separately with a computerized microscope relative to a constant tissue origin. With computer aid, sections are aligned with respect to this origin. Individual tree segments can be displayed with possible merging points emphasized. Transposition of tree segments is performed on those segments whose tree origin was improperly selected. Complete reconstructions are generated by merging origins of tree segments into cut ends of other tree segments. The reconstructed tree may be displayed with smooth rotation and translation; also it may be statistically summarized. [Cat spinal cord sections were used in this study.].
