get_inner_sec_dist_dict

biophysics_fitting.utils.get_inner_sec_dist_dict(cell, beyond_dist=1000, beyond_struct=['ApicalDendrite'], n_children_required=1)

Get sections that connect to specific structures beyond a minimum distance.

Fetches all sections that are connected to compartments with labels in beyond_struct, and that have a minimum soma distance of beyond_dist. This is useful to get sections of the apical trunk of an L5PT, filtering out oblique dendrites.

Parameters:

  • cell (Cell) – The cell object.

  • beyond_dist (float) – The minimum distance from the soma (um).

  • beyond_struct (list) – The labels of the structures to check.

  • n_children_required (int) – The minimum number of children required to have a connection.

Returns:

A dictionary with the soma distance as key and the section as value.

Return type:

dict
