Documentation

Intermediate compartment object. There can exist main types of compartments, active (soma) and non-active (dendrites, axons, spines). The distinction is that an active compartment has a spikeshape and threshold that will allow it to fire an action potential upon reaching threshold. The non-active compartments merely pass along information.
