| Name: | Resource:NeuroMorpho.Org |
| Description: | NeuroMorpho.Org is a centrally curated inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons. Each neuron in NeuroMorpho.Org is represented by a unique identifier, general information (metadata), the original and standardized ASCII files of the digital morphological reconstruction, and a set of morphometric features.
Morphological data are essential for understanding the cellular complexity of the nervous system, and are used for analysis, visualization, and modeling. NeuroMorpho.Org contains some of the most complete axonal arborizations digitally available in the community. This resource contains contributions from over two-dozen labs and is continuously updated as new morphological reconstructions are collected, published, and shared, with the goal of densely covering all available data. NeuroMorpho.Org was established to facilitate access to such data and to encourage data sharing in the whole neuroscience community. Deposition and distribution of reconstruction files ultimately prevents data loss. Centralized curation and annotation aims at minimizing the effort required by data owners while ensuring a unified format. It also provides a "one-stop" entry point for all available reconstructions, thus maximizing data visibility and impact. |
