+#' Plot a neuron in the BANC connectomic dataset using ggplot2
+#'
+#' This function visualizes a neuron or neuron-related object from the BANC connectomic dataset using ggplot2.
+#'
+#' @param x A 'neuron', 'neuronlist', 'mesh3d', or 'hxsurf' object to be visualized.
+#' @param volume A brain/neuropil volume to be plotted in grey, for context.
+#'   Defaults to NULL, no volume plotted.
+#' @param info Optional. A string to be used as the plot title.
+#' @param view A character string specifying the view orientation.
+#'   Options are "main", "side", "front", "vnc", "vnc_side", "brain_side".
+#' @param cols1 A vector of two colors for the lowest Z values. Default is c("turquoise", "navy").
+#' @param cols2 A vector of two colors for the highest Z values. Default is c("grey75", "grey50").
+#' @param alpha Transparency of the neuron visualization. Default is 0.5.
+#' @param title.col Color of the plot title. Default is "darkgrey".
+#' @param ... Additional arguments passed to geom_neuron().
+#'
+#' @return A ggplot object representing the visualized neuron.
+#'
+#' @details This function is a wrapper around the ggneuron function, specifically tailored for the BANC dataset.
+#'   It applies a rotation matrix based on the specified view and uses predefined color schemes.
