Returns the primary neurite of a neuron

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

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

# S3 method for neuron
primary.neurite(x, resample = 1, keep.pnt = T, ...)

# S3 method for neuronlist
primary.neurite(x, resample = 1, keep.pnt = T,
  ...)

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

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

# S3 method for 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
