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