Over 1,000 neurons are available for free .obj download at the Eyewire Museum. These neurons were mapped by citizen scientists playing the puzzle game Eyewire.

Over the next two years, the creators of Eyewire will play a role in the IARPA MICrONS program to map ~100,000 cortical neurons and chart a billion synapses. 3D models will eventually be available after publications. If you'd like to work with cortical cells prior to public release, drop a note to amy@eyewire.org. Cell types include pyramidal neurons, martinotti cells, basket cells, and many others reconstructed from electron microscope images at 4nm resolution from a 1 cubic mm volume, so many of the cells will be complete and not cut off by the edge of the dataset. We are always delighted to collaborate when it leads to sharing the beauty and wonder of the brain.
