What LC16 and LC6 look like¶

LC16 and LC6 dendrites sit in the same lobula layers (the shape half of the input comparison in lc16_lc6_inputs). A skeleton is a thin tree tracing a neuron's cable; it is enough to compare where dendrites sit and where axons go. The skeletons are the ones collect.collect_skeletons stored, each type in its color from look.

neurons = load_skeletons(load_census(), TYPES)
pl.Series([_n.name.split("_")[0] for _n in neurons]).value_counts()

plot_neurons draws the neurons in 3D, colored by type: drag to rotate, scroll to zoom. Dendrites are the dense tufts in the lobula; each type's axons run to its own target in the central brain.

def plot_neurons(neurons: list):
    """A plotly 3D figure of the neurons, colored by the type in the
    name of each (the part before the underscore)."""
    colors = [TYPE_COLORS[n.name.split("_")[0]] for n in neurons]
    fig = navis.plot3d(neurons, color=colors, backend="plotly", inline=False)
    # plot3d's return type allows None for inline backends;
    # plotly with inline=False always returns a figure.
    if fig is None:
        msg = "navis.plot3d returned no figure"
        raise RuntimeError(msg)
    return fig

# The CDN plotly keeps the HTML small;
# the file needs a network connection to open.
