  • New functionality added: the site now includes a new web-based universal converter of digital reconstructions of neuronal morphology from any existing format and tracing system into the SWC standard. This Rosetta stone for neural morphology, called xyz2swc, has been fully described and tested and can be also accessed through an API with corresponding documentation. The resource also includes a pilot function to skeletonize triangular mesh reconstructions into centerline tracings.
  • New functionality added: researchers can now check which peer reviewed publications utilize specific datasets shared via NeuroMorpho.Org based on the PMID or DOI of the original scientific report describing them. Analysis of these data demonstrates that sharing neural reconstructions increased the impact of the original research, thus benefiting both authors and users. Users can also register for an email alert service to be notified when new papers appear that utilize specific datasets.
  • Literature Coverage has been updated to include publications through November 2023.

      • New functionality added: Similarity search - Allows fast similarity search to any cell based on morphometrics, persistence vectors, metadata, and combinations thereof, using either FAISS (Facebook AI Similarity Search), traditional Pearson correlation, or a combination of the two, with the option to apply PCA. The functionality is available on the detail page of each cell as well as through an API, as described on the Similarity search documentation on NeuroMorpho Github..

      • Metadata revisions:
        • 10 neurons on with primary brain region neocortex and secondary brain region piriform cortex were assigned to primary brain olfactory cortex (new term), still with secondary brain region piriform cortex. The piriform cortex region under neocortex was removed.
        • Objective magnification in the Kula-Gugula for layer 2-3 pyramidal neurons was corrected to 20x
      • New functionality added: Summary reporting - Allows users to efficiently download digests of metadata and morphometrics from multiple groups of similar cells for further analysis
      • Definitions of morphological attributes added to FAQs.
      • Literature Coverage has been updated to include publications through April 2021.
      • 235 reconstruction duplicates identified by updated duplicate detection algorithm were removed. The new version uses FAISS (Facebook AI Similarity Search) to enable parallel all-against-all duplicate detection, which previously was not possible using a serial processing. The novel algorithm also uses persistence vectors in addition to summary morphometrics, where previous versions have only used summary morphometrics. For a full list of duplicates, including their originals and related publications, please see the linked spreadsheet.

  • Direct links to the reconstructions and standardization files of each neuron have been added.
  • Search results open in a new window allowing you to go back and refine your search criteria.
  • Images to illustrate common irregularities detected and/or edited in the standardization process have been added.

Version Beta released on 9/20/2006 contained 1000 neurons.
What's new in Beta Version?
  • One new data set (68 reconstructions) have been added:
  • A new functionality allows the display of the number of hits matching the selected search criteria before retrieving the reconstructions (see details).
  • Addition of links to individual entries in the original (source) labs from the detail pages of single neurons.
  • Addition of "deposition date" and "upload date" for each reconstruction.
  • QuickStart page edited to help better navigation of the site.
  • Available "notes" from data owners have been added for each reconstruction to provide extra information in the detail pages of single neurons.
  • Addition of Usage statistical information.
Additional information on academic affiliation of data owners provided in the Acknowledgements page.
