vmApical¶

biophysics_fitting.utils.vmApical(cell, dist=None)¶

Fetch the membrane voltage of the apical dendrite at a certain distance from the soma.

Assumes that the Cell object has an apical dendrite:

• It contains at least one section with the label “ApicalDendrite”

• Such section exists at dist distance from the soma

• The section has at least one child

See get_inner_section_at_distance() for more information about which arguments can be used to define an apical section.

Parameters:¶

• cell (Cell) – The cell object.

• dist (float) – The distance from the soma (\(\mu m\)).

Returns:¶

The membrane voltage of the apical dendrite at the specified distance.

Return type:¶

numpy.ndarray
