Dendritic segments of 15 D1 and 16 D2 reconstructed MSNs were compared with respect to average number per neuron and segment length (reported as mean ± SEM). The absolute number of segments per cell was significantly higher in D1 MSNs than in D2 MSNs for 1–4° branch orders, but not significant once normalized to the number of primary dendrites. The total length of a dendritic tree emerging from a single primary dendrite was not significantly different between D1 and D2 MSNs. The space occupied by D1 MSNs was significantly larger, whereas that occupied by a D1 MSN dendritic tree was not significantly different from that of a D2 MSN. The total convex hull surface for D1 MSNs was significantly larger than D2 MSNs (D1 MSN, 105.7 mm2; D2 MSN, 89.6 mm2; p < 0.05), although the area per primary dendrite was not different (D1 MSN, 8.5 mm2; D2 MSN, 12.3 mm2).
