Neurite-J

Neurite-J is an ImageJ (http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/index.html) plug-in that works as an adaption of the Sholl method providing a semi-automatic tool for neurite outgrowth quantification in organotypic cultures. Neurite-J gives a good description of neurite growth providing counts of neurite number and neurite area at different distances from the organotypic explant.

Neurite-J is developed in the Neuroplasticity and Repair Group of the University Autonomous of Barcenlona (UAB) by Dr. Abel Torres Espín.
