                         neural cells by semi-automated generation of dendrograms, which 
                         are abstract structures describing different aspects associated to 
                         the branching nature of dendrites in neurons. Particularly, the 
                         dendrograms generated by the proposed method represents the 
                         branching structure of neurons in terms of the length of each 
                         dendritic segment. The new method, which is based on multiscale 
                         curvature contour segmentation and syntactic shape analysis, is 
                         robust and greatly improve the tiresome task of dendrogram 
                         extraction, traditionally performed by human operators. Results 
                         corroborating the effectiveness of the technique are also
