COMMENT
This mechanism is intended to store some information about each compartment
DendDist [um]: is the dendritic path distance of the dendritic compartment from the soma (Note: not the radial distance)
This distance is computed between the center of the compartment and the soma
This measurement should be equal to the value stored in DendPathDist(0.5)
SpaceConstant [um]: This is the space constant (lambda)
ElectroL - no units: is the electrotonic length of the section (ratio of the compartment length to the space constant)
ElectroDist - no units: is the electrotonic distance of the section from the soma
Terminal - Boolean (0 or 1): Zero means that the compartment is NOT a terminal dendrites
ONE means that the compartment is a terminal dendrites
x, y, z: Allows local storage of xyz coordinates interpolated from the pt3d data. These coordinates are used by hoc code to interpolate pt3d data
along the section
