SynapseMapper¶

class single_cell_parser.synapse_mapper.SynapseMapper(cell=None, synDist=None, isDensity=True)¶

Assign synapses to a neuron morphology based on an existing synapse distribution.

For more fine-grained control over the creation of synapse distributions onto a morphology, please refer to the singlecell_input_mapper.singlecell_input_mapper package instead.

The synapse distribution can be:

• a previously created synapse realization in dictionary form (see the .syn file type and read_synapse_realization() for more info)

• a ScalarField of synapse densities, in which case the synapses are mapped in the same way as in create_synapses().

• a list of synapse distances.

See also

singlecell_input_mapper.singlecell_input_mapper.synapse_mapper.SynapseMapper for creating network realizations constrained with empirical data.

synDist can be read from a .syn file using read_synapse_realization().

Parameters:¶

cell : Cell¶

The cell to map synapses onto.

synDist : single_cell_parser.scalar_field.ScalarField¶

Either a previously created synapse realization in dictionary form (see the .syn file type and read_synapse_realization() for more info) or a ScalarField of synapse densities.

isDensity : bool¶

If True, then the synapse distribution is interpreted as an average density, and the actual number of synapses that will be assigned is drawn from a Poisson distribution. If False, then the synapse distribution synDist is interpreted as the actual number of synapses per voxel.

Attributes:¶

cell¶

The cell to map synapses onto.

synDist¶
