Abstract

To launch Hippocampome.org, a framework for classifying neuron types in the rodent hippocampus, we assembled >14,000 pieces of experimental evidence supporting knowledge of approximately 3,700 properties for 122 neuron types. This resource, the first comprehensive machine-readable neuron inventory for a mammalian cortical region, provides an opportunity to analyze the hippocampus in novel ways and garner unique insights into its intricate structure and enigmatic function. Here, I describe my two-pronged attack on the sub-cellular and cellular fronts.
