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.
