fctraces20: 20 traced Drosophila neurons from Chiang et al 2011

Description

This R list (which has additional class neuronlist) contains 15 skeletonized Drosophila neurons as dotprops objects. Original data is due to Chiang et al. [1], who have generously shared their raw data at http://flycircuit.tw. Automated tracing of neuron skeletons was carried out by Lee et al [2]. Image registration and further processing was carried out by Greg Jefferis, Marta Costa and James Manton[3].
