An illustrative matrix representation of an ideal corporative ranking structure.

<p>Panel (a) depicts a hierarchy of four tiers with eight groups. Groups on the same tier have the same rank, Panel (b) shows an upper-triangular matrix consisting mostly of 1 s, with several rectangular patches consisting of 0 s (represented by dots), representing the presence or absence of pairwise dominance relationships among the members of the eight groups.</p

Frequency distribution of the azimuthal and polar angles of the orientation of axonal and dendritic segments among 100 NETMORPH-generated neurons.

<p>A superimposed sine curve shows the slight skewness of the polar angle distribution.</p

Local and global efficiency.

<p>Local and global efficiency values of the generated network consisting of 2000 neurons, placed in a cylinder of the indicated radius and height. The right-most column shows the cost values of the networks.</p

Variability of estimates using (5).

<p>Variability in the estimation of the expected number of potential synapses at 14 different displacements using the formula (5) based on axonal and dendritic templates created from 9 different sets consisting of 10 generated L2/3 pyramidal neurons each. Values given are mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum of for indicated displacement .</p
