About HortaCloud

Fun fact: the name "Horta" comes from the name of a tunneling silicon based lifeform from the Star Trek original series episode 25 "The Devil in the Dark". Neuron traces in 3D resemble the tunnels such a creature might make in the ground. It can also be conveniently backronymed as "How Outstanding Researchers Trace Axons".

This software is based on the Janelia Workstation and was originally developed for and in collaboration with the MouseLight Team Project at Janelia Research Campus.

Ongoing development and maintenance is funded by Janelia’s Open Science Software Initiative.
