neurom.check.morphtree.get_back_tracking_neurites(neuron)[source]¶

Get neurites that have back-tracks.

A back-track is the placement of a point near a previous segment during the reconstruction, causing a zigzag jump in the morphology which can cause issues with meshing algorithms.

Parameters:	neurite (Neurite) – neurite to operate on
Returns:	List of neurons with backtracks
