Dear colleagues,
We’re pleased to announce the March 4, 2016 release of Version 6.3 of NeuroMorpho.Org, including 3638 additional reconstructions from 54 new datasets. The number of contributing laboratories now exceeds 200! The repository provides access to 37,712 neurons from 35 species and over 40 brain regions. More than 5 million reconstructions were downloaded to date, summing up to approximately 30 km of neurite cable.
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 February 2016. 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 x-listing.
Sincerely,
