Branch_pathlength

This function returns the sum of the
length of all compartments forming the giveN_branch.
Formula: AB + BC + CD + DE
Formula: AB + BC + CD + DE
Function Output Type : Numeric
Calculated : At Every Branch
Output:
Metric | Total_Sum | #Compartments (considered) |
#Compartments (discarded) |
Minimum | Average | Maximum | S.D. |
Branch_pathlength | 16958.7 | 188 | (914) | 0.6 | 90.2057 | 1428.01 | 120.504 |
Output Interpretation :
Segment length or Branch_pathlength = AB+BC+CD+DE.
Total_Sum = 16958.7 gives Total_Sum, Minimum = 0.6 gives minimum, Maximum = 1428.01 gives maximum for given input neuron.
References :

Based on the min, avg and max values, one can use the rule
"branch_pathlength > 200" in the specificity panel, and measure for
N_branches in the function panel that are greater than 200 microns.
