Schematic of NeuroElectro database construction and example electrophysiological measurements. A: semiautomated text-mining algorithms were applied to journal articles to extract neuron type-specific biophysical measurements and experimental conditions. B–G: example electrophysiological measurements extracted from the research literature for cerebellar Purkinje cells, CA1 pyramidal cells, cortical basket cells, ventral tegmental area dopaminergic cells, and striatal medium spiny neurons (abbreviated as CB, Purk; CA1, PC; Ctx, BC; VTA, DA; and Str, MSN). Vrest, resting membrane potential; Rinput, resistance input; τm, membrane time constant; APamp, APhw, and APthr, action potential amplitude, half-width, and threshold. Each circle denotes the value of the mean biophysical measurement value reported within an article.
