Research direction

Start with bionet.html and the usage of afferent_section_id and afferent_section_pos mentioned in the issue; compare any existing examples and the morphology or segment handling described there. Done would be a documented example and a clear explanation of whether NEURON can preserve the assigned segment IDs.

Description

Hi,

I am currently working on a project that I want to put all synapse on a particular segment of the dendrite.

I find the https://alleninstitute.github.io/bmtk/bionet.html says there is an option to use “afferent_section_id” and “afferent_section_pos” to pinpoint the location of the synapse. Is there any example of such a usage?

Also, when I look at the file structure, there is no file saving the segment structure from Neuron, does that mean there is a chance Neuron can parse the morphology differently and make the pre-assigned segment-id not work?

Thanky you for the BMTK and thank you for answering the question,
