New insights into the classification and nomenclature of cortical GABAergic interneurons

Javier DeFelipe, +43 more
TL;DR: A possible taxonomical solution for classifying GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex based on a novel, web-based interactive system that allows experts to classify neurons with pre-determined criteria is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

NeuroMorpho.Org: a central resource for neuronal morphologies.

TL;DR: The structure of dendrites and axons plays fundamental roles in synaptic integration and network connectivity in neurobiology and in medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

L-Measure: a web-accessible tool for the analysis, comparison and search of digital reconstructions of neuronal morphologies.

TL;DR: This report illustrates several LM protocols: extraction of basic morphological parameters, computation of frequency distributions, measurements from user-specified subregions of the neuronal arbors, statistical comparison between two groups of cells and filtered selections and searches from collections of neurons based on any Boolean combination of the available morphometric measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mobilizing the base of neuroscience data: the case of neuronal morphologies

TL;DR: It is argued that the tremendous research potential of existing (and largely unused) digital reconstructions should diffuse any reticence to sharing this type of data.
