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.
