Hi, I have some questions regarding the parameter description of the different axes (l/n/t) for the extra-/intracellular conductivities.

As far as I understand, the local coordinate system is defined by a fiber direction, sheet direction, and the cross product between these two (sheet normal).

Why is the definition according to the parameter documentation for g_in: "Defines the intracellular conductivity in the local sheet direction" should this be the local sheet normal direction?

Also for the g_it parameter which should be "i.e. perpendicular to the longitudinal fiber 'g_il' and local sheet 'g_it' direction." it looks like a copy-paste error because g_it can't be perpendicular to itself.

As far as I understand it it should be:

fiber direction = g_il

sheet direction = g_it

(sheet) normal = g_in

Or am I missing something?

As a general question: Should the sheet vector in the .lon file point parallel to/along the tissue surface or perpendicular to it?

Best,

Pascal

Hi!

You understood correct, the help text was not great. I changed it.

Best, Aurel
