Question about model.hoc

[asanin-epfl]

Do I need to use geom_nseg(), biophys() of the default model.hoc in my custom.hoc If I use the latter as model_template?

neuron_reduce.subtree_reductor(...,model_filename='custom.hoc')

Hi @asanin-epfl you can use a custom hoc file (custom.hoc) but you should do it knowledgeably. For example, usually, the biophys() is responsible for channel distribution. Neuron_Reduce already copy the channels (with respect to the transfer resistance) so this function should be empty and not change the channel distribution.
