Details
-
area
¶ The membrane surface area of this section (as an array of length 1).
-
diameter
¶ The diameter of this section (as an array of length 1).
-
distance
¶ The total distance between the midpoint of this section and the root of the morphology. The
Soma
is most likely the root of the morphology, and therefore thedistance
is 0.
-
end_distance
¶ The distance to the root of the morphology at the end of this section. Note that since a
Soma
is modeled as a point (see docs ofx
, etc.), it does not add anything to the total distance, e.g. a section connecting to aSoma
has adistance
of 0 um at its start.
-
end_x_
¶ The x-coordinate of the current section (as an array of length 1). Note that a
Soma
is modelled as a “point” with finite surface/volume, equivalent to that of a sphere with the givendiameter
. It’s start-, midpoint-, and end-coordinates are therefore identical.
-
end_y_
¶ The y-coordinate of the current section (as an array of length 1). Note that a
Soma
is modelled as a “point” with finite surface/volume, equivalent to that of a sphere with the givendiameter
. It’s start-, midpoint-, and end-coordinates are therefore identical.
-
end_z_
¶ The z-coordinate of the current section (as an array of length 1). Note that a
Soma
is modelled as a “point” with finite surface/volume, equivalent to that of a sphere with the givendiameter
. It’s start-, midpoint-, and end-coordinates are therefore identical.
-
r_length_1
¶ The geometry-dependent term to calculate the conductance between the start and the midpoint of each compartment. Returns a fixed (high) value for a
Soma
, corresponding to a section with very low intracellular resistance.
-
r_length_2
¶ The geometry-dependent term to calculate the conductance between the midpoint and the end of each compartment. Returns a fixed (high) value for a
Soma
, corresponding to a section with very low intracellular resistance.
-
start_x_
¶ The x-coordinate of the current section (as an array of length 1). Note that a
Soma
is modelled as a “point” with finite surface/volume, equivalent to that of a sphere with the givendiameter
. It’s start-, midpoint-, and end-coordinates are therefore identical.
-
start_y_
¶ The y-coordinate of the current section (as an array of length 1). Note that a
Soma
is modelled as a “point” with finite surface/volume, equivalent to that of a sphere with the givendiameter
. It’s start-, midpoint-, and end-coordinates are therefore identical.
-
start_z_
¶ The z-coordinate of the current section (as an array of length 1). Note that a
Soma
is modelled as a “point” with finite surface/volume, equivalent to that of a sphere with the givendiameter
. It’s start-, midpoint-, and end-coordinates are therefore identical.
-
volume
¶ The volume of this section (as an array of length 1).
-
x_
¶ The x-coordinate of the current section (as an array of length 1). Note that a
Soma
is modelled as a “point” with finite surface/volume, equivalent to that of a sphere with the givendiameter
. It’s start-, midpoint-, and end-coordinates are therefore identical.

¶ The y-coordinate of the current section (as an array of length 1). Note that a
Soma
is modelled as a “point” with finite surface/volume, equivalent to that of a sphere with the givendiameter
. It’s start-, midpoint-, and end-coordinates are therefore identical.

¶ The z-coordinate of the current section (as an array of length 1). Note that a
Soma
is modelled as a “point” with finite surface/volume, equivalent to that of a sphere with the givendiameter
