class bluepyopt.ephys.locations.NrnSectionCompLocation(name, sec_name=None, comp_x=None, comment='')[source]

Compartment in a section

Constructor

Parameters

  • name (str) – name of the object

  • sec_name (str) – name of Neuron section (ex: ‘soma[0]’)

class bluepyopt.ephys.locations.NrnSomaDistanceCompLocation(name, soma_distance=None, seclist_name=None, comment='')[source]

Compartment at distance from soma

Constructor

Parameters

  • name (str) – name of this object

  • soma_distance (float) – distance from soma to this compartment

  • seclist_name (str) – name of Neuron section list (ex: ‘apical’)

find_icomp(sim, iseclist)[source]

class bluepyopt.ephys.locations.NrnTrunkSomaDistanceCompLocation(name, soma_distance=None, sec_index=None, sec_name=None, direction=None, comment='')[source]

Location at a distance from soma along a main direction.

We search for the section that is the furthest away from some along a direction, and pick a location at a given distance from soma along the path to that section.

If direction == ‘radial’, the largest radial direction is used.

This is most useful to follow the trunk of an apical dendrite without knowing the apical point, but only that apical trunk goes along y.

Constructor

Parameters

  • name (str) – name of this object

  • soma_distance (float) – distance from soma to this compartment

  • sec_index (int) – index of the section to consider

  • sec_name (str) – name of Neuron sections (ex: ‘apic’)

  • direction (list of 3 elements) – 3d vector representing direction, if None, default is [0, 1, 0]

set_sec_index(icell=None)[source]

Search for the point furthest away along given direction.
