Correct spine density based on actual distributions #159

Closed marwan-abdellah closed 2 years ago

marwan-abdellah commented 2 years ago

According to Wikipedia, dendritic spines occur at a density of up to 5 spines/1 μm stretch of dendrite. We therefore need to implement a correct spine distribution along the dendrites. The current implementation is buggy.

Another important aspect must be taken into consideration: the spine size with respect to the diameter of the dendrite at the spine location.
