5.1.1.1. ProvidesGoodObliques

class ProvidesGoodObliques

Bases: sciunit.capabilities.Capability

Indicates that the model provides a list of oblique dendrites and locations to be tested

Methods Summary

find_good_obliques(trunk_origin)	This function must be implemented by the model.
find_obliques_multiproc(trunk_origin)	This function is called by the test and calls the find_good_obliques() function.

Methods Documentation

find_good_obliques(trunk_origin)

This function must be implemented by the model.

Must provide a list of oblique dendrites that meet the criteria of the experimental protocol (Losonczy, Magee 2006), and also proximal and distal locations on them. Criteria: originate from the trunk, have no child, close to the soma (at most 120 microns)

The form must be: dend_loc = [[‘name_of_dend1’,prox_location, “prox”],[‘name_of_dend1’,dist_location, “dist”],[‘name_of_dend2’,prox_location, “prox”] [‘name_of_dend2’,dist_location, “dist”]] E.g. : [[‘CCell[0].apic[47]’, 0.5, “prox”], [‘CCell[0].apic[47]’, 0.8333333333333333, “dist”]]

Parameters

trunk_origin (list) – first element : name of the section from which the trunk originates, second element : position on section (E.g. [‘soma[5]’, 1]). If not set by the user, the end of the default soma section is used.

find_obliques_multiproc(trunk_origin)

This function is called by the test and calls the find_good_obliques() function. Used to keep all NEURON related tasks in independent processes, to avoid errors like ‘template can not be redefined’
