Recursive Segmentation of Minicolums Using Myelinated Bundles

In this study we developed a new method for minicolumnar identification in brain images. We measure width of minicolumns by using myelinated bundles of axons. Using recursive spectral segmentation by Otsu thresholding we separate different parts of neocoretex and extract myelinated bundles. By tracing lines perpendicular to them we measure minicolumnar width. We also measure macrocolumnar width by minicolumnar clusters
