How are sections connected?
Posted: Mon May 17, 2021 11:56 am
Hi there,
I would like to know how sections in the models are connected to each other, e.g. what the equivalent circuit would look like? Is it the same way that the segments are?
I have looked in the NEURON book and across the forum but can't seem to find a definitive answer.
In the following question about total membrane capacitance, you mention that this can be calculated by summing the capacitance across all segments of all sections:

this suggests to me that across the sections, the capacitances are in parallel?
If I wanted to compute total input resistance for example, could I compute the input resistances of the different sections and then calculate the total using the equation
1/Rtot = 1/Rsection1 + 1/Rsection2...
Many thanks in advance for your help!
