setup_BAC

biophysics_fitting.setup_stim.setup_BAC(cell, dist=970, delay=295)

Setup a BAC (bAP-activated Ca2+-spike) stimulus for the cell.

Soma:

  • shape = step

  • amplitude = 1.9 nA

  • delay = 295 ms

  • duration = 5 ms

Apical dendrite:

  • shape = epsp

  • amplitude = 0.5 nA

  • distance = 970 um (default)

  • delay = 300 ms

Parameters:
cell : Cell

The cell object.

dist : float

The distance from the soma to the recording site (um).

delay : float

The delay of the BAC stimulus (ms).

Returns:

None. Adds a BAC stimulus to the cell.
