Dear colleagues,
We're pleased to announce the June 29, 2020 release of NeuroMorpho.Org Version 8.0, adding over 10,000 tracings from 65 new datasets and 11 new species. This major update brings the database total to 131,960 digital reconstructions of neuronal and glial morphology and streamlines the data publication process: forthcoming archives can be directly uploaded online and will be released as soon as their data and metadata have been processed. Please visit the What's new page for details on the growing content and functionality, and check out recent updates to the literature coverage and detailed usage statistics. We are continuously grateful to all data contributors from 696 labs worldwide eager to share their hard-won tracings with the community. We apologize if you receive multiple versions of this message through cross-listing, and as always appreciate any and all feedback and comments. Sincerely,
The NeuroMorpho.Org team
