Summary
Neuron reconstruction or neuron tracing is a technique used in neuroscience to determine the path of neural axons and dendrites (many times also called neuronal processes).
Neuron reconstruction is more often related to digital reconstruction of a neuron’s morphology from imaging data. Due to the high complexity of neuron morphology and often seen heavy noise in such images, as well as the typically encountered massive amount of image data, it has been widely viewed as one of the most challenging computational tasks for computational neuroscience.
