NetworkMapper._create_pointcell_activities¶

single_cell_parser.network.NetworkMapper._create_pointcell_activities(preCellType, networkParameters)¶

Create point cell spike times based on the network parameters distribution keyword.

Depending on the distribution given by networkParameters, this method creates spike times for each presynaptic cell of type preCellType.

The following spike time distributions are supported, and require the following parameters:

Spike Time Distributions¶
Distribution Type	Required Parameters
“normal”	“spikeT”, “spikeWidth”, “offset”
“uniform”	“window”, “offset”
“lognormal”	“mu”, “sigma”, “offset”
“PSTH”	“intervals”, “probabilities”, “offset”
“PSTH_absolute_number”	“intervals”, “number_active_synapses”, “offset”
“PSTH_poissontrain” (deprecated)	“intervals”, “rates”, “offset”
“PSTH_poissontrain_v2”	“bins”, “rates”, “offset”
“poissontrain_modulated”	“rate_before_t_offset”, “mean_rate”, “max_modulation”, “modulation_frequency”, “bin_size”, “phase_distribution”, “offset”

See Network parameters for more information on the network parameter file format.

Parameters:¶

preCellType (str) – The presynaptic cell type.
networkParameters (NTParameterSet) – The network parameters for the presynaptic cell type.

Returns:¶

None
