Concepts
Details of concepts or terms used in Virtual Fly Brain.
The ideas the rest of the documentation assumes. Each page here explains one thing that shapes how VFB stores or presents data, and that is worth understanding before interpreting a result: how neurons are classified into cell types, how images from different studies are brought into a common space, how morphological similarity is scored, and how to read a count or a confidence value.
FlyLight Imaging Tiles
Tiles used during FlyLight Split-GAL4 expression pattern imaging.
OpenBridging Registrations
Transformations to map between different canonical Drosophila templates.
OpenCell Types
Cell type annotations on VFB.
OpenConfidence Values
Confidence values for predictions on VFB.
OpenNeuron counts
Why there is no single neuron count for Drosophila, what each connectome actually counted, and how to quote a figure defensibly.
OpenTransgene Expression Curation
Details of the curation procedure for transgene expression patterns.
OpenSplit Driver Expression
Split driver expression patterns in Virtual Fly Brain.
