Abstract

In "Ceci n'est pas une pipe," René Magritte faithfully depicts a pipe but all the same proclaims that it isn't a pipe: it is a painting of a pipe. We allude to Magritte's painting here, showing that by rebuilding a neuron's anatomy, we create something that is not a neuron: it is the model of a neuron (see Cuntz et al., doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000251).
