Dear colleagues,

We’re pleased to announce the April 16, 2018 release of Version 7.4 of NeuroMorpho.Org, adding 6881 reconstructions from 57 new datasets. The repository now provides access to 86,893 cells from over 50 distinct animal species including numerous new entries (African wild dog, Aplysia, Banded mongoose, Blue wildebeest, Caracal, Clam worm, Ferret, Greater kudu, Lion, Mountain zebra, Red-necked wallaby, and Ring-tailed lemur). Please visit the What’s new page for details on the added data and metadata. The literature coverage was also updated to include publications through March 2018, with more than 30,000 mined articles. We are continuously grateful to all 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
