// Cat FR motoneuron model (reduced morphology)
//
// This file constructs the equivalent cylinder of the 3D dendritic morphology of cat FR MN (cell 43/5 in Cullheim et al., 1987)
// The reduced model reproduce the passive properties of the full morphology faithfully
// Reduced model passive properties:    Rin = 1.38 MOhm, tau(0)=6.8 ms,  tau(1) = 1.5 ms (graphical peeling method)
// Experimental data of same MN:        Rin = 1.4 MOhm,  tau(0)=6.82 ms, tau(1) = 1.57 ms
