Starting to explore VFB
Text search and query tools and how to explore the 3D images.
Getting Started
How to use the Virtual Fly Brain 3D browser
Categories:
Below are a few overview pages to help you get started using VFB:
This is the Slice Viewer tab
The Slice Viewer displays single slices of the template, showing all selected painted anatomy, neurons and expression patterns
This is the 3D Viewer tab
The 3D Viewer displays 3D models of the template, showing all selected painted anatomy, neurons and expression patterns
This is the Term Info tab
Term Info displays information on the currently selected painted anatomy region, neuron, expression pattern or non-image term definitions
This is the Term Context tab
Term Context displays grapical information on the currently selected term’s location or classification
This is the Circuit Browser tab
The Circuit Browser allows you to find the strongest paths from one neuron (the source neuron) to another (the target neuron).
How to Interpret VFB Thumbnails
VFB (Virtual Fly Brain) thumbnails are color depth maximum projection images that allow users to visualize the distribution of intensity values across different depths in a 3D image stack.
Similarity Score Queries Guide
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the similarity score queries on VirtualFlyBrain.org. These queries allow users to find neurons or expression patterns that are morphologically similar to a selected neuron or expression pattern.
Bulk Image Download
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the bulk download tool on VirtualFlyBrain.org. The tool allows users to download multiple files at once, saving time and effort compared to downloading each file individually. The types of data available for download include OBJ, SWC, NRRD, and References. Users can also select specific variables related to their chosen data type. The downloaded data is packaged into a zip file for easy access and organization.
