/* The stimulus is generated by an instance of the Fzap class 
(a point process that produces a sine wave of user-specified duration and
amplitude, that sweeps over a range of frequencies at a constant rate).
For each section that has the xtra mechanism, this waveform 
is used to drive is_xtra.
The transfer resistance rx_xtra takes care of the 
amplitude and sign of the local extracellular field.
