NeuroElectro: organizing information on cellular neurophysiology
NeuroElectro is a framework for organizing information on the cellular neurophysiology of different neuron types. Its goal is to extract information about the electrophysiological properties (e.g. resting membrane potentials and membrane time constants) of diverse neuron types from the existing literature and place it into a centralized database.
