NeuroM Logo

NeuroM

NeuroM is a Python toolkit for the analysis and processing of neuron morphologies.

Build Status license codecov.io Documentation Status DOI

Acknowlegments

This work has been partially funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Program (FP7/2007­2013) under grant agreement no. 604102 (HBP). For license and authors, see LICENSE.txt and AUTHORS.md respectively.

Documentation

NeuroM documentation is built and hosted on readthedocs.

Installation

It is recommended that you use pip to install NeuroM into a virtualenv. The following assumes a virtualenv named nrm has been set up and activated. We will see three ways to install NeuroM

1. From the Python Package Index

(nrm)$ pip install neurom

2. From git repository

(nrm)$ pip install git+https://github.com/BlueBrain/NeuroM.git

3. From source

Clone the repository and install it:

(nrm)$ git clone https://github.com/BlueBrain/NeuroM.git
(nrm)$ pip install -e ./NeuroM

This installs NeuroM into your virtualenv in "editable" mode. That means changes made to the source code are seen by the installation. To install in read-only mode, omit the -e.

Tutorial notebook

To gain an understanding of some of the capabilities of NeuroM, you can launch the NeuroM tutorial on MyBinder. Click the badge to launch, no need to download or install!

Examples

  • Extract morphometrics from one or many morphology files:
$ morph_stats some/path/morph.swc # single file
{
  "some/path/morph.swc":{
    "axon":{
      "total_section_length":207.87975220908129,
      "max_section_length":11.018460736176685,
      "max_section_branch_order":10,
      "total_section_volume":276.73857657289523
    },
    "all":{
      "total_section_length":840.68521442251949,
      "max_section_length":11.758281556059444,
      "max_section_branch_order":10,
      "total_section_volume":1104.9077419665782
    },
    "mean_soma_radius":0.17071067811865476,

      "max_section_branch_order":10,
      "total_section_volume":556.22792682083821
    }
  }
}

$ morph_stats some/path # all files in directory
  • Perform checks on neuron morphology files:
(nrm)$ morph_check some/data/path/morph_file.swc # single file

(nrm)$ morph_check some/data/path # all files in directory
    ....
  • Load a neuron and obtain some information from it:
>>> import neurom as nm
>>> nrn = nm.load_neuron('some/data/path/morph_file.swc')
>>> apical_seg_lengths = nm.get('segment_lengths', nrn, neurite_type=nm.APICAL_DENDRITE)
>>> axon_sec_lengths = nm.get('section_lengths', nrn, neurite_type=nm.AXON)
  • Visualize a neuronal morphology:
>>> # Initialize nrn as above
>>> from neurom import viewer
>>> fig, ax = viewer.draw(nrn)
>>> fig.show()
>>> fig, ax = viewer.draw(nrn, mode='3d') # valid modes '2d', '3d', 'dendrogram'
>>> fig.show()

Reporting issues

Issues should be reported to the NeuroM github repository issue tracker. The ability and speed with which issues can be resolved depends on how complete and succinct the report is. For this reason, it is recommended that reports be accompanied with a minimal but self-contained code sample that reproduces the issue, the observed and expected output, and if possible, the commit ID of the version used. If reporting a regression, the commit ID of the change that introduced the problem is also extremely valuable information.
