Analysis of neuronal morphology has until recently been limited to small data sets due to the amount of time necessary to generate a digitized representation of a neuron’s structure.

Recent efforts to curate data from many different labs working in parallel on vastly differing topics has led to the NeuroMorpho.Org database which currently provides access and metadata for over 10,000 neurons from a variety of species, cell types, brain regions, and experimental conditions.
