whisker_evoked_PSTH¶

singlecell_input_mapper.evoked_network_param_from_template.whisker_evoked_PSTH(column, deflectedWhisker, cellType)¶

Fetch the PSTHs of each celltype in a barrel cortex column for evoked activity reflecting a passive whisker touch scenario. This method does not generate such data, but reads it in from existing files containing such empirical measurements, and parses it. These existing data files are set as global variables in this runfile. For other activity data, adapt these file names.

The data linked in this runfile are for experiments where the C2 whisker was deflected. For situations where other deflectedwhisker are requested, activity data of equivalent columns relative to the C2 is requested.

Example

>>> column = 'B2'  # I want activity from B2 column
>>> deflectedWhisker = 'C1'  # I want activity reflecting deflection of C1 whisker (not C2)
>>> cellType = 'L6ct'
>>> params = whisker\_evoked\_PSTH(column=column, deflectedWhisker=deflectedWhisker, cellType=cellType)
>>> print(params)  # This is activity data from the C3 column for C2 whisker deflection i.e. equivalent activity
{
    'distribution': 'PSTH',
    'intervals': [(40.0, 41.0), (43.0, 44.0), (49.0, 50.0)],
    'probabilities': [0.0057, 0.0057, 0.0057]
    }

Parameters:¶

• column (str) – the column in the barrel cortex for which to parse the PSTHs.

• deflectedWhisker (str) – Which whisker was deflected.

• cellType (str) – Which cell type you want the PSTH for.

Returns:¶

The PSTH for the given cell type in a C2-relative equivalent column, reflecting the deflection of the given whisker.

Return type:¶
