MorphIO

MorphIO is a library for reading and writing neuron morphology files. It supports the following formats:

  • SWC
  • ASC (aka. neurolucida)
  • H5 v1
  • H5 v2 is not supported anymore, see H5v2_

It provides 3 C++ classes that are the starting point of every morphology analysis:

  • Soma: contains the information related to the soma.

  • Section: a section is the succession of points between two bifurcations. To the bare minimum the Section object will contain the section type, the position and diameter of each point.

  • Morphology: the morphology object contains general information about the loaded cell but also provides accessors to the different sections.

One important concept is that MorphIO is split into a read-only part and a read/write one.

siibra-explorer

siibra-explorer is built around an interactive 3D view of the brain displaying a unique selection of detailed templates and parcellation maps for the human, macaque, rat or mouse brain, including BigBrain as a microscopic resolution human brain model at its full resolution of 20 micrometres.

Collaboratory

The EBRAINS Collaboratory offers researchers and developers a secure environment to work with others. You control the level of collaboration by sharing your projects with specific users, teams or all of the Internet. Many researchers are sharing their work already; several services, tools, datasets and other resources are publicly available, and many more are available for registered users.

MeshView

MeshView is a web application for real-time 3D display of surface mesh data representing structural parcellations from volumetric atlases, such as the Waxholm Space Atlas of the Sprague Dawley Rat Brain. MeshView is available as an EBRAINS community app, accessible via a collab (further info: https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/image-registration-and-analysis-demo/) Key features: orbiting view with toggleable opaque/transparent/hidden parcellation meshes rendering user defined cut surface as if meshes were solid objects rendering point-clouds (simple type-in, or loaded from a JSON format) coordinate system is compatible with QuickNII (https://www.nitrc.org/projects/quicknii)
