A neuronlist containing LHPD2a1 neurons that have been split into axonal and dendritic compartments using flow centrality analysis. This method, described by Schneider-Mizell et al. (2016), uses the spatial distribution of pre- and postsynaptic sites to segregate neuronal arbors into functionally distinct compartments.
Format
A neuronlist object with neurons containing additional Label field in their data frames indicating compartment type:
- Label = 2
Axon
- Label = 3
Dendrite
- Label = 4
Primary dendrite
- Label = 7
Primary neurite
- Label = 0 or NA
Unclassified
Source
BANC connectome dataset (Bates et al., 2025). Split using flow centrality
method from hemibrainr package.
