Dear colleagues,

We’re pleased to announce the March 30, 2017 release of Version 7.1 of NeuroMorpho.Org, including 11,948 additional reconstructions from 72 new datasets. The repository now provides access to 62,304 cells (a 65% yearly increase since the March 2016 release) from 40 species and 278 labs. Notably, glia arbors are now included in the database in addition to neuron. Please visit the What’s new page for details on the added data and other updates. The literature coverage database was also updated to include publications through March 2017. We are continuously grateful to all the data contributors who freely share their hard-won tracings with the community. We appreciate any and all feedback and comments. Our apologies if you receive multiple versions of this message through cross-listing. Sincerely,

The NeuroMorpho.Org team
