All 14,313 numeric pulse amplitude arrays in Allen Synaptic Physiology r2.1 were flat, and a shared list reproduced the loss of pulse order
Can the stored pulse amplitude arrays in Allen Synaptic Physiology r2.1 preserve response order? We audited all dynamics and synapse model records in the small SQLite release. All 12,187 numeric measured arrays and all 2,126 numeric model arrays had identical median, standard deviation, and count at each of 12 pulse positions. Another 583 measured arrays had only missing values. We executed the public summary functions from two fixed source versions on known trains. A shared Python list pooled amplitudes across pulses. Increasing and decreasing trains then gave the same array. A repair restored the known pulse order and sample counts. The zero-based master source also needed an index repair. Every released model array had a count of 6,000 at each pulse, while its separate initial train count was 500. Separate scalar fields retained nonzero changes; they were outside this array error in our test. The small release has no event records, so it cannot support a full rebuild of measured curves. The package provides a complete field audit, source hashes, diagnostic labels, original tools, synthetic repair tests, figures, and repeat steps. This is a data validity finding for one fixed release. It does not show that cortical synapses have constant responses or that fitted model parameters are invalid.
