Query tracings for neurons, and/or neuron soma locations, from the MouseLight Neuron Browser. Each neuron may have multiple tracgings, typically one for its axon and another for its dendrite.
mouselight_neuron_info(simplify = TRUE) mouselight_neuron_somata()
| simplify | whether to simplify the query result to a simple data.frame with one row per tracing (See details). |
|---|
data.frame describing the available neurons. See details for the
implication of the simplify argument.
Mouselight neurons typically consist of two separate tracings, one
for the axon and one for the dendrites. When simplify=TRUE (the
default) the output is a flattened data frame with one row for every
tracing. When simplify=FALSE there is one row per neuron, but the
data.frame contains nested data frames with per tracing information.
The identifier which you will need to download a neuron with
mouselight_read_neurons is stored in column
mouselight_read_brain, mouselight_brain_region_info
