摘要
En 中文
Effective representation of neuronal morphology is essential for cell typing and understanding brain function. However, the complexity of neuronal morphology manifests not only in inter-class structural differences but also in intra-class variations across developmental stages and environmental conditions. Such diversity poses significant challenges for existing methods in balancing robustness and discriminative power when representing neuronal morphology. To address this, we propose SGTMorph, a hybrid Graph Transformer framework that leverages the local topological modeling capabilities of graph neural networks and the global relational reasoning strengths of Transformers to explicitly encode neuronal structural information. SGTMorph incorporates a random walk-based positional encoding scheme to facilitate effective information propagation across neuronal graphs and introduces a spatially invariant encoding mechanism to improve adaptability with diverse morphology. This integrated approach enables a robust and comprehensive representation of neuronal morphology while maintaining biological fidelity. To enable label-free feature learning, we devise a self-supervised learning strategy grounded in geometric and topological similarity metrics. Extensive experiments on five datasets demonstrate SGTMorph's superior performance in neuron morphology classification and retrieval tasks. Furthermore, Its practical utility in neuronal function research is validated through the accurate predictions of two functional features: the laminar distribution of somas and axonal projection patterns.
