What is NeuroMorpho.Org?
NeuroMorpho.Org is a centrally curated inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons. It contains contributions from dozens of laboratories worldwide and is continuously updated as new morphological reconstructions are collected, published, and shared. The goal of NeuroMorpho.Org is to provide free access to all available neuronal reconstruction data in the neuroscience community.

Why is NeuroMorpho.Org relevant?
Morphological data are essential for understanding the cellular complexity of the nervous system and are used for analysis, visualization, and modeling. NeuroMorpho.Org was established to facilitate access to such data and to encourage data sharing within the neuroscience community. A centrally curated and annotated inventory provides the opportunity to access accurate and verified data that is presented in a unified format. Deposition and distribution of reconstruction files ultimately prevents data loss and minimizes effort required by data owners. It also provides a "one-stop" entry point for all available reconstructions, thus maximizing data visibility and impact.

What is included in NeuroMorpho.Org?
Each neuron in NeuroMorpho.Org is represented by a name, general information (metadata), the original and standardized ASCII files of the digital morphological reconstruction (see Details on Standardization Process), and a set of morphometric features (see Details on available measures). You can browse the website or search for specific cells (see QuickStart guide). For suggestions, questions not answered in the FAQs, or if you have or know of digital reconstructions of neuronal morphology that could be included in this inventory, please Contact Us.
