N_tips

This function returns the number of
terminal tips for the given input neuron. This function counts the
number of compartments that terminate as terminal endpoints.
Function Output Type : Boolean
Calculated : At each tracing point
Returns a value : For whole arbor
Output:
Metric | Total_Sum | #Compartments (considered) |
#Compartments (discarded) |
Minimum | Average | Maximum | S.D. |
N_branch | 6 | 6 | (9) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Values to consider : Total_sum
Output Interpretation :
In the above example returns total 6 terminal tips. Since its a
boolean function the user should use Total_Sum value for this metric.
The Minimum, Average and Maximum values doesn't make much sense for the
study of this function.
