neuron_morphology.features.branching.bifurcations module

neuron_morphology.features.branching.bifurcations.calculate_outer_bifs(morphology: neuron_morphology.morphology.Morphology, soma: Dict, node_types: Union[List[int], NoneType]) → int

Counts the number of bifurcation points beyond the a sphere with 1/2 the radius from the soma to the most distant point in the morphology, with that sphere centered at the soma.

Parameters:

morphology: Describes the structure of a neuron

soma: Must have keys “x”, “y”, and “z”, describing the position of this

morphology’s soma in

node_types: Restrict included nodes to these types. See

neuron_morphology.constants for avaiable node types.

Returns:

the number of bifurcations
