meaning of two numbers in Brain region connectivity? #305

Open young24 opened 3 years ago

young24 commented 3 years ago

(Please provide additional details) I was looking at the brain region connectivity matrix. When you move the cursor on a square, it shows two numbers. Do these two numbers mean the number of neurons in the presynaptic/postsynaptic regions? I tried to find the meaning in the doc but failed. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, I did not see this request for more details since there was no notification. What I meant was the "Brain Region Connectivity" matrix at the homepage of NeuPrint And the two numbers that confused me was the ones in the picture below. image

For potential people who may have the same doubt, I think I found the answer. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). According to Fig. 8 in Scheffer et al., 2020, the first number means how many crossings between region A and region B, and the second number means the number of extinct neurons that cross.
