cell Cell Specification of the recorded cell. A cell definition should be a subsection of the Subject section. Type string The type of the recorded cell. E.g. pyramidal cell. BrainRegion string The region the cell is located in. For example Retina, Cortex, Cerebellum etc. BrainSubRegion string More detailed specification of the region the cell is located in. For example, if BrainRegion is "hippocampus", then the BrainSubRegion may be "CA1". Layer string The name of the layer. For example, layer 4 in CA1. Ganglion string Like the pro-, meta- and mesothoracal ganglion in invertebrates. Structure string The structure of the organism the cell is located in e.g. Eye, Spinal cord... RecordingLocation string The recording location in the cell. E.g. axonal, dendritic, somatic, ... Identification string How was the cell identified? RestingPotential float mV What is the cells resting potential of the cell. An indicator for the recording quality. BaselineRate float Hz For spiking cells, the spontaneous activity which might be an indicator for the cell's health status and thus recording quality. BaselineNoise float The standard deviation of the baseline membrane potential. Rheobase float nA The minimum current required to make the cell fire action potentials. MembraneCapacity float pF The capacity of the cell. InputResistance float MOhm The input resistance of the recorded cell. TimeConstant float ms The membrane time-constant. Comment text A comment on the cell.
