Experimental data from Allen Cell Types Database is associated with the "Mouse Cell Types" Product.

Each brain specimen is sectioned in the coronal plane at section thickness of 350 µm. The sections are then hemisected along the midline and a single cell in the hemisected tissue is targeted for electrophysiological recording and biocytin fill to visualize the cell morphology. Each cell is represented as Specimen object with SpecimenType of “Cell”.

Each cell Specimen is associated with an anatomical Structure and CellSomaLocation record containing the coordinate of the cell in the Common Coordinate Framework and a normalized depth between pia (value of 0) and white matter (value of 1) surfaces.

Each cell Specimen is also associated with two SpecimenTags describing the “dendrite type” (spiny, aspiny, sparsely spiny) and the “apical dendrite” (intact, truncated, n/a).
