Specifying diameter during axon discretization

[LJ]

Hi,

I am trying to create axons with varying diameters. Below is the script I am using. Regardless of what Diameter I set, the actual model produced has a diameter of 20µm. Does anyone know how to fix that?

Axon_name='axon'
Diameter=10
axon = model.AllEntities()[Axon_name]
neuron_settings=model.MotorMrgNeuronProperties
neuron_settings.AxonDiameter=Diameter
discretized_axon = model.CreateAxonNeuron(axon, neuron_settings())
discretized_axon.Name = Axon_name +'_neuron'

Thanks!

I have managed to solve this. The function below seems to work

def DiscretizeAxonModel(Axon_name, Diameter, type,folder):
    axon_entity = model.AllEntities()[Axon_name]

    if type=='motor':
        model_properties=model.MotorMrgNeuronProperties()
    elif type=='sensory':
        model_properties=model.SensoryMrgNeuronProperties()
    else:
        model_properties=model.MotorNeuronProperties()
    
    model_properties.AxonDiameter=Diameter
    discretized_axon = model.CreateAxonNeuron(axon_entity,model_properties)
    discretized_axon.Name = Axon_name +'_neuron'
    folder.Add(discretized_axon)
