Neurotransmitter Prediction from Electron Microscopy Images in BANC

This repository is based off previous work from the preprint Neurotransmitter Classification from Electron Microscopy Images at Synaptic Sites in Drosophila.

Access to Neurotransmitter Predictions

Predictions for the neurotransmitters (GABA, acetylcholine, glutamate, serotonin, octopamine, dopamine, histamine, and tyramine) on the BANC dataset are publicly available here:

Note: Only synapses detected with a size > 5 have NTs predicted.
