    """Creates coordinate grid and place cells in it.

    Parameters
    ----------
    n_pyr_x : int
        The number of Pyramidal cells in x direction.
    n_pyr_y : int
        The number of Pyramidal cells in y direction.
    zdiff : float
        Expressed as a positive DEPTH of L2 relative to L5 pyramidal cell
        somas, where L5 is defined to lie at z==0. Interlaminar weight/delay
        calculations (lamtha) are not affected. The basket cells are
        arbitrarily placed slightly above (L5) and slightly below (L2) their
        respective pyramidal cell layers.

        The grid spacing of pyramidal cells (in um). Note that basket cells are
