In alexanderbates/catnat: Analyse neuronal morphology and connectivity (extends catmaid and nat)

Returns the primary neurite of a neuron

Description

Returns the primary neurite of a neuron, defined as the cable between soma and first branch point

Usage

primary.neurite(x, resample = 1, keep.pnt = T, ...)

## S3 method for class 'neuron'
primary.neurite(x, resample = 1, keep.pnt = T, ...)

## S3 method for class 'neuronlist'
primary.neurite(x, resample = 1, keep.pnt = T, ...)

starting.neurite(x, k, ...)

## S3 method for class 'neuron'
starting.neurite(x, k = 100, ...)

## S3 method for class 'neuronlist'
starting.neurite(x, k = 100, ...)

Arguments

x	a neuron or neuronlist object
resample	The new spacing with which to evenly resample each neuron. Can be set to F to prevent resampling.
keep.pnt	whether to keep just the primary neurite tract of the skeleton, or remove it and keep the neuron's arbour instead
...	additional arguments passed to methods
k	the number of nodes from the soma to include

Value

A neuron pruned to its primary dendrite
