• abstract = "Virtual neurons are digitised representations of biological neurons, with an emphasis on their morphology. In previous research we presented a proof of principle of reconstructing virtual neuronal morphologies by means of Genetic L-Systems Programming (GLP) [13]. However, the results were limited due to a hard evolutionary search process and a minimalistic fitness function. In this work we analysed the search process and optimised the GLP configuration to enhance the search process. In addition, we designed a neuron type-specific fitness function which provides an incremental assessment of the evolved structures. The results are significantly better and relevant issues are discussed.",
