Abstract
Fractal dimension can be used as a quantitative measure of morphological complexity. Separate, enriched populations of oligodendrocytes or type 2 astrocytes derived from neonatal rat optic nerves were allowed to differentiate in vitro. Fractal dimensions of differentiating glial cells were measured over time. The fractal dimension correlated with perceived complexity and increased in value as the glial cells matured. Analysis of the changes in fractal dimension with time revealed unique rates of growth and differentiation for each glial phenotype.
