Session profile
- Audience: annotation and QC teams handling process-type decisions.
- Duration: 75 minutes lecture + 15 minutes edge-case adjudication.
- Output: axon-vs-dendrite decision matrix and confusion analysis.
Slide-by-slide lecture plan

- Slide 3 (6 min): Morphology cue library
- Slide 4 (6 min): Organelle and synaptic-role cues
- Slide 5 (6 min): Multi-cue voting strategy
- Slide 6 (6 min): Continuity checks across slices/branches
- Slide 7 (7 min): Edge case I: thin dendrites
- Slide 8 (7 min): Edge case II: en passant boutons
- Slide 9 (6 min): Edge case III: truncation and missing context
- Slide 10 (5 min): Confidence schema and escalation rules
- Slide 11 (5 min): Team calibration protocol
- Slide 12 (5 min): QA metrics and confusion matrix interpretation
- Slide 13 (5 min): Activity setup
- adjudicate three ambiguous examples.
- Slide 14 (5 min): Debrief and bridge to glia boundaries.
- Primary shortlist:
course/units/figures/06-axons-and-dendrites-selected-v1.md.
- Include side-by-side cue panels and at least one contested case.
Speaker notes (expert-level)
- Avoid single-cue decisions; require convergence or explicit provisional labels.
- Quantify downstream impact (motif counts, edge direction errors).
Assessment and artifacts
- Deliverable: decision matrix with evidence fields and confidence tags.
- Rubric dimensions: cue integration quality, consistency, and auditability.
