Compartment

class Compartment

This object is the primary until of measure in the program The compartment is also a container for channels and spikeshapes The compartment is responsible for calculating membrane potential and for generating an Action Potential

Documentation

This object is the primary until of measure in the program The compartment is also a container for channels and spikeshapes The compartment is responsible for calculating membrane potential and for generating an Action Potential. It sends messages to compartments within the cell, and to compartments outside of teh cell. The latter communication takes place via the parent cell and the Message Bus structure
