Confidence Values
Categories:
Some annotations on VFB are based on predictions, for example, predicted neurotransmitters for neurons in electron microscopy datasets (see below). Where available, we include the confidence of these predictions (as a badge next to the annotation), as well as a link to the publication - in the example below, this would be by clicking on the ‘DOI’ badge.

Neurotransmitter Prediction Confidence Values
Neurotransmitter predictions for neurons in the FlyWire FAFB and Hemibrain datasets are the ‘conf_nt’ predictions from Eckstein et al. (2024). MANC and optic-lobe predictions are from Takemura et al. (2023) and Nern et al. (2024), respectively, using the methodology of Eckstein et al. (2024). This analysis only investigated a limited set of neurotransmitters and assumed a single neurotransmitter per neuron (see publications for further detail). Neurons with fewer than 100 presynapses are excluded.
