# Neuronal Class
**Entity class:** Concept or analytic term
**Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]]
**Type:** Neurobiological classification concept
**Primary source:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]]
## Definition
A **neuronal class** groups neurons by shared anatomical, developmental, molecular, physiological, or functional properties at a declared level of a classification hierarchy.
## Relationships
- The [[wiki/Cambridge Drosophila Connectomics Group|Cambridge Drosophila Connectomics Group]] supplied hierarchical FlyWire annotations of classes, [[wiki/Cell Type|cell types]], and [[wiki/Hemilineage|hemilineages]].
- A class is broader than an individual neuron and may be defined differently across datasets.
