Visualizing Glial Spatial Patterns with Ripley's L-Function

An interactive tool for neuroscientists to build intuition about plaque-centric spatial statistics.

Simulation Parameters

50 µm

The primary inflammatory zone where glia are densely recruited.

100 µm

Distance where inhibitory effects begin, causing glial depletion.

80

Strength of the chemotactic response. More glia mean a stronger response.

50

Glial density outside the inhibitory zone.

15

How tightly glia are packed. Smaller values mean a denser cluster core.
