AxoBench v2

AxoBench is a benchmark for data-driven surrogates of layer-5 pyramidal neurons: given six seconds of synaptic input events, predict the somatic voltage and spikes of a detailed NEURON model of the cell. Version 2 covers 15 cells, adds paired interventions at three doses each, and stores the somatic voltage at 4 kHz in addition to the 1 ms targets.

Variants

Each variant is a self-contained dataset root in its own top-level folder.

Folder Status Traces per training cell Size
minimal/ released 2,000 train, 250 val, 250 test 14.6 GB

Larger variants will be added next to minimal/ with the same layout.

Download with the axobench package (axobench download-data, or axobench.hub.download_dataset), or fetch single folders with huggingface_hub.snapshot_download(..., allow_patterns=["minimal/val/*"]).

Cells

  • 14 Allen Cell Types all-active models of mouse layer-5 cells with intact apical dendrites (Gouwens et al. 2018), each with its fitted biophysics and a per-cell excitatory gain calibrated to a common firing rate.
  • The NeuronIO layer-5b cell (Hay et al. 2011, neuronio_hay_cell1) as the anchor to earlier work.

Three Allen cells (354190013, 480353286, 488683425) are held out: they appear only in test (zero-shot track). morphologies.json lists every cell with its source and held-out flag; morphologies/ holds the Allen SWC files.

Layout of minimal/

Folder Content
train/<cell>/ 6,000 shards, 24,000 traces (12 training cells x 2,000)
val/<cell>/ 756 shards, 3,000 traces (12 x 250)
test/<cell>/ 945 shards, 3,750 traces (15 x 250)
interventions/<condition>_<dose>/ 15 folders, 600 pairs each (40 per cell), 9,000 pairs in total
morphologies/, morphologies.json cell index and reconstructions
dataset_package_manifest.json counts per split, cell and condition; generator settings and gains
checksums.sha256 SHA-256 of every file in the variant

Interventions: event dropout, excitatory dropout and inhibitory dropout at 10, 35 and 70%; site silencing at 10, 25 and 50%; temporal jitter of 1, 2 and 8 ms.

Shard schema

Each .npz shard has a JSON sidecar with the generator settings. Each split and intervention folder has a manifest.json that lists its shards (paths relative to the folder; split shards sit in one subfolder per cell) and sample ids.

  • inputs: (n, 6000, 1278) int8, input events per 1 ms bin on 639 excitatory and 639 inhibitory synapse sites.
  • targets: (n, 6000, 2) float32 at 1 ms: spike indicator (0/1) and the NeuronIO-style somatic target, (min(V, -55 mV) + 67.7 mV) / 10.
  • soma_mv: (n, 6000) raw somatic voltage (mV) at 1 ms.
  • soma_mv_hr: (n, 24000) raw somatic voltage (mV) at 4 kHz.
  • Intervention shards hold the same arrays with baseline_ and intervention_ prefixes, plus changed_event_mask.

Withheld data

A confirmation split (private-test, 125 traces per cell) is not published. Predictions on it are scored on request, rate-limited.
