setup_apical_epsp_injection¶

biophysics_fitting.setup_stim.setup_apical_epsp_injection(cell, dist=None, amplitude=None, delay=None, rise=1.0, decay=5)¶

Setup an EPSP injection at a given distance from the soma.

This method assumes the cell has a soma and an apical dendrite. It checks so by means of section label: it must contain a section labeled “ApicalDendrite”. See get_inner_section_at_distance() for more information.

Parameters:¶

cell : Cell¶

The cell object.

dist : float¶

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

amplitude : float¶

The amplitude of the EPSP (nA).

delay : float¶

The delay of the EPSP (ms).

rise : float¶

The rise time constant of the EPSP (ms).

decay : float¶

The decay time constant of the EPSP (ms).

Returns:¶

None. Adds an EPSP injection pipette to the cell under the name ‘epsp’.
