Hypothalamic Region Cell Counts and Areas from Semi-Automated Image Analysis

859.3 KB of cell count and area data derived from 4-8 individual slices per hypothalamic region. Data was generated by Alexandra Fraser using semi-automated analysis in ImageJ (Fiji) and statistical analysis in Prism. The dataset includes individual data points in XLSX format, averaged for final analysis.

Use Cases

• Quantify cell density in specific hypothalamic regions based on the described semi-automated image analysis.
• Compare regional cell area measurements across different hypothalamic slices.
• Validate or benchmark cell counting algorithms using manually curated data points.
• Perform statistical analysis on biological replicates using the averaged data points.

Strengths

• Data points are derived from 4-8 individual slices per region, providing biological replicates.
• Includes raw individual data points in XLSX format, allowing for custom re-analysis.
• Analysis was performed with established tools (ImageJ/Fiji and Prism), suggesting methodological rigor.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• The dataset's 859.3 KB size indicates a limited scope, likely covering a specific study.
