Well, they give about the most definite criteria they can given current techniques, which is the transcriptomic profile. In fig 2e [0] they also give a bouton density profile. If you still have the pictures and have neurogliaform and basket cells stained with the same technique, you should be able to determine whether you are in the ballpark.

I looked at the paper. I mean there needs to be a table that tells us what they consider the acceptable range for spine density, bouton density, soma size, soma ellipsity or whatever shape stats, branching stats, etc.

I dont really know what to do with that figure 2e... it looks like they cherry picked stats where they saw a "significant difference" from the other types of cells they looked at.
