Using the Results Table
The Results Table gives you a structured summary of the selected staining and model across animals and brain regions.
It is designed for comparing summarized measurements, not for inspecting individual cells.
What each row represents
Each row represents one animal and one brain-region measurement for the selected analysis output.
In Joint hemisphere mode, a selected brain region appears as one combined measurement. In Separate mode, split regions appear as Left and Right measurements. Regions kept joint still appear as Both.
When split measurements are present, the table includes a Hemisphere column. Exports preserve the same row-level measurements shown in the table.
Depending on your study setup, the table can also include group, condition, and sex metadata.
Metrics depend on workflow
Cell counting and classification projects
Commonly useful measures include:
- Total cells for the shared detected cell population
- Marker-positive cells for cells expressing the selected marker
- Marker-negative cells for cells not expressing the selected marker
- Marker-positive proportion for the marker-positive share of detected cells
- Cells/mm2 and marker-positive cells/mm2 for density
Independent-detection projects
Independent-detection projects do not have a shared all-cell denominator.
For these projects, focus on:
- marker-positive cells
- analyzed area
- marker-positive cells/mm2
Metrics such as marker-positive proportion, negative cells, and all-cell density are not meaningful because negative means rejected candidate rather than biological marker-negative cell.
Filter before you compare
The table is most useful when narrowed to the subset that matches your question.
You can filter by brain region, animal, group, condition, and sex.
Exporting your data
The Results Table can be exported for downstream analysis and figure preparation.
Available formats include CSV, Excel, and GraphPad Prism.
Before exporting, apply the same filters you want to use downstream.
