compute_syn_distances¶

single_cell_parser.analyze.synanalysis.compute_syn_distances(cell, synType, label=None, consider_gap_to_soma=False)¶

Computes distances (to soma) of all synapses on the dendrite.

Parameters:¶

• cell (single_cell_parser.cell.Cell) – cell object with attached synapses.

• synType (str) – presynaptic cell type to compute distances for.

• label (str, optional) – dendrite type (e.g. “ApicalDendrite”) to compute distances for. Default: None (all dendrites)

Returns:¶

1D array of distances to soma

Return type:¶

numpy.ndarray

Raises:¶

KeyError – if the cell does not have synapses of type synType.
