single_cell_parser.analyze.membrane_potential_analysis.compute_uPSP_amplitude(t, v, tSyn, isEPSP=True, t_width_baseline=10.0)

Compute the amplitude of a uPSP.

Simple method for determining amplitude of a unitary post-synaptic potential (uPSP)

Parameters:
  • t (list) – Time vector

  • v (list) – Membrane potential vector

  • tSyn (float) – Timepoint of synaptic activation.

  • isEPSP (bool) – If True, the uPSP is an excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP). If False, the uPSP is an inhibitory post-synaptic potential (IPSP). Default is True.

  • t_width_baseline (float) – Width of the time window to calculate the baseline membrane voltage. Default is \(10.0 ms\).

Returns:

Amplitude of the uPSP.

Return type:

float
