get_inner_section_at_distance¶

biophysics_fitting.utils.get_inner_section_at_distance(cell, dist, beyond_dist=1000, beyond_struct=['ApicalDendrite'])¶

Get sections that connect to specific structures at a particular distance.

Fetches all sections that are connected to compartments with labels in beyond_struct, and that have a 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.

dist : float¶

The distance from the soma (um).

beyond_dist : float¶

The minimum distance from the soma (um).

beyond_struct : list¶

The labels of the structures to check.

Returns:¶

The section and the relative distance from the section to the soma. Only returns the section that’s closest to the provided dist.

Return type:¶

tuple

See also: get_inner_sec_dist_dict() that returns all sections beyond some distance, rather than only the closest section at a specific distance.
