Value: reliability weight of connection strength, t: variable of reliability weight for transport directions of tracers, w- variable of reliability weight for strengths of connections, a: anterograde tracer transport, r: retrograde tracer transport, a/r: bidirectional tracer transport. a+r+a/r means that a connection has been proved by an anterograde, a retrograde and a bidirectional transported tracer.
