import of neurolucida .asc
Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2005 1:35 pm
Hi,
I have imported Neurolucida .asc files to Neuron either through Neuron itself or cvapp. Spines are omitted during import.
But the centroid view shows a very zig-zag like structure of the dendrite (based on the pt3dadd coordinates, I guess).
Why is the dendrite that zig-zag like if the spines are omitted? Shouldn't it be rather straight, like the "backbone" of the dendrite?!
Is there any difference in modeling between a similar cylindrical structure made from scratch (as seen in the schematic view of the imported morphology) and the imported structure?
Many thanks for a short answer!
Regards
