load_file("cell.ses") // specifies anatomical and biophysical properties of the cell
// For this example, the file recreates CellBuilder
// but it could also be a plain old hoc file.
// This file must do the following:
// 1. create and connect the sections, and use a single access statement
// to declare one of them as the default section
// 2. assign biophysical properties and specify discretization,
// insert whatever density ("distributed") mechanisms are necessary.
// 3. insert extracellular and xtra into all sections that are to "feel"
// the effect of an extracellular field. The parameters of extracellular
// should be assigned the following values:
// xraxial=1e+09 xg=1e+09 xc=0 e_extracellular=0
// 4. if geometry was specified with the stylized method (i.e. L and diam)
// rather than the pt3d method, call define_shape(). Once is enough.
// Note that stylized models make sense only if they are 1 dimensional
// i.e. unbranched, with all sections lying along a straight line.
// This is because section orientation of branched stylized models
// is chosen automatically by NEURON, therefore has nothing to do
// with biological neurons or the modeler's possible intent to approximate
// the shape of a particular cell.
