Results Overview

Results is where you inspect how the selected classifier behaves on real slices and how those classified cells are distributed across the brain regions in your study.

Use Results to answer questions like these:

  • Does the model look trustworthy on this staining?
  • Are the region-level counts plausible on individual slices?
  • Are there slices or animals that need closer review before comparing groups?

What Results shows

Results is organized around one staining and one selected model at a time.

That is important, because the interpretation always depends on which staining and which classifier output you are looking at.

Within Results, Neuro QP gives you two complementary ways to review the same analysis:

  • Table View for structured comparison across animals and brain regions
  • Slice Viewer for visual inspection on individual slices

In practice, these two views should be used together.

Before you start

Results is most useful after three things are in place:

  • your stainings are set up
  • the relevant brain regions are selected
  • you have a model for the staining you want to inspect

If results are not available yet, Neuro QP will guide you through the remaining processing steps.

Choose the staining and model carefully

Always confirm that you are looking at the staining and model you actually want to evaluate.

Different models for the same staining can produce meaningfully different outputs.

If you trained multiple versions, treat Results as a review space for deciding which output is the most trustworthy for downstream analysis.

Table View and Slice Viewer serve different purposes

Use Table View when you want summarized measurements by animal and brain region.

Use Slice Viewer when you want to visually confirm whether those summaries make sense on the underlying images.

The table helps you compare.

The viewer helps you trust what you are comparing.

A practical workflow

A simple workflow that works well in practice is:

  1. Start in the Slice Viewer and inspect a few representative slices.
  2. Check whether the classified cells look reasonable in the regions that matter for your study.
  3. Move to Table View to compare animals and brain regions in a more structured way.
  4. If something looks surprising in the table, go back to the viewer and inspect the relevant slices.

What Results is not for

Results is not mainly the place for final group-level interpretation.

It is the place to confirm that the slice-level output is biologically plausible and ready to be summarized.

Once that looks trustworthy, use the Statistics pages for comparisons across animals, groups, conditions, and stainings.
