pymaid.get_connectors_between¶

pymaid.get_connectors_between(a, b, directional=True, remote_instance=None)[source]¶

Retrieve connectors between sets of neurons.

Important

This function does currently not return gap junctions between neurons.

Notes

A connector can show up multiple times if it is connecting to more than one nodes of the same neuron.

Parameters:

a –
Neurons for which to retrieve connectors. Can be:
1. list of skeleton ID(s) (int or str)
2. list of neuron name(s) (str, exact match)
3. an annotation: e.g. ‘annotation:PN right’
4. CatmaidNeuron or CatmaidNeuronList object
b –
Neurons for which to retrieve connectors. Can be:
1. list of skeleton ID(s) (int or str)
2. list of neuron name(s) (str, exact match)
3. an annotation: e.g. ‘annotation:PN right’
4. CatmaidNeuron or CatmaidNeuronList object
directional (bool, optional) – If True, only connectors a -> b are listed, otherwise it is a <-> b.
remote_instance (CatmaidInstance, optional) – If not passed directly, will try using global.

Returns:

DataFrame in which each row represents a connector:

  connector_id  connector_loc  node1_id  source_neuron  ...
0
1
2
...
  confidence1  creator1 node1_loc node2_id  target_neuron  ...
0

2
...
 confidence2  creator2  node2_loc

Return type:
