The Morphology of Brain Neurons: the Box-Counting Method in the Quantitative Analysis of 2D Images.
Advances in neurobiology(2024)
Department of Biophysics
Abstract
This chapter begins by showing the difference between fractal geometry and fractal analysis. The text shows the difference between mathematical and natural fractals and how they are best defined by explaining the concept of fractal analysis. Furthermore, the text presents the most famous technique of fractal analysis: the box-counting method. Defining this method and showing the methodology that leads to the precise value of the fractal (i.e., the box) dimension is done by demonstrating the images of human dentate neurons. A more detailed explanation of the methodology was presented in the previous version of this chapter. This version promotes the notion of monofractal analysis and shows how three types of the same neuronal images can quantify four image properties. The results showed that monofractal parameters successfully quantified four image properties in three nuclei of the cerebellum. Finally, the author discusses the results of this chapter and previously published conclusions. The results show how the monofractal parameters discriminate images of neurons from the three nuclei of the human cerebrum. These outcomes are discussed along with the results of previous studies.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
