Welcome to the Neuromorphological File Specification

Note

For additional information, visit MBF Bioscience’s user forum for the Neuromorphological File Specification.

The neuromorphological file format is a machine-readable format for representing digital reconstructions and models of microscopic anatomies. The unique data structure has a direct impact on microanatomical models, analytics, and data reusability. It’s relevant, systematic, and flexible nature demonstrates its effectiveness as a solution for the microscopic anatomy morphology data standard. The framework is suitable for representing models commonly found in research on a number of topics, including neuromorphology, vascular networks, and neuroanatomy.

Governance

Development for the neuromorphological file format is coordinated by an elected editorial board and central developer team. Learn more about the development process and community organization procedures that are followed by the neuromorphological file community.
