axon_results.get_membrane_capacitance

axon_results.get_membrane_capacitance(unit: str = 'uF/cm**2', mem_th: float = 0.007) → float[source]

get the axon membrane capacitance or permitivity

Parameters:

  • unit (str, optional) – unit of the returned conductivity see units, by default “S/cm**2”

  • mem_th (float, optional) – membrane thickness in um, by default 7*nm

Note

depending of the unit parameter this function either return :

  • the surface conductivity in [S]/([m]*[m]): from neuron simulation

  • the conductivity in [S]/[m]: by multiplying surface conductivity by membrane thickness
