SWC file refinements
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2020 1:15 pm
I have two swc files i.e. 0ref.swc and 1ref.swc, where 'ref' means refinement. The file 0ref.swc is the original neuron geometry containing 1389 vertices and 1388 edges. The file 1ref.swc is a refined version of 0ref.swc, meaning that if A,B are two points in 0ref.swc, then A,M,B are the points in 1ref.swc and M is the midpoint between A and B. 1ref.swc contains 2777 vertices and 2776 edges.
Question: if I am running a simulation with hh biophysics on both .swc geometries and nseg=21 for both would they be the same? or would the 1ref.swc be more numerically accurate? (I think it is the former because nseg=21 will define the resolution on each section to be 21 segments regardless of which .swc file I use; however, I am not sure)
