biophysics_fitting.hay.default_setup.record_bAP(cell, recSite1=None, recSite2=None)

Extract the voltage traces from the soma and two apical dendritic locations.

This is used to quantify the voltage trace of a backpropagating AP (bAP) stimulus in a pyramidal neuron. The two apical recording sites are used to calculate e.g. backpropagating attenuation.

Parameters:
  • cell (Cell) – The cell object.

  • recSite1 (float) – The distance (um) from the soma to the first recording site.

  • recSite2 (float) – The distance (um) from the soma to the second recording site.
