Query tracings for neurons, and/or neuron soma locations, from the MouseLight Neuron Browser. Each neuron may have multiple tracgings, typically one for its axon and another for its dendrite.

mouselight_neuron_info(simplify = TRUE)

mouselight_neuron_somata()

simplify

whether to simplify the query result to a simple data.frame with one row per tracing (See details).

Mouselight neurons typically consist of two separate tracings, one for the axon and one for the dendrites. When simplify=TRUE (the default) the output is a flattened data frame with one row for every tracing. When simplify=FALSE there is one row per neuron, but the data.frame contains nested data frames with per tracing information.

The identifier which you will need to download a neuron with mouselight_read_neurons is stored in column

data.frame describing the available neurons. See details for the implication of the simplify argument.
