Just for fun: Online open-source online SWC neuron visualizer

With SfN coming up, I’ve put together a small neuron visualizer for SWC files. It's nothing too fancy, just a fun, simple base for anyone who wants to interactively visualize neurons. Best part? It’s open source and super easy to tweak

You can also hook it up to http://www.neuromorpho.org if you need access to a broader neuron database. Feel free to play around, modify the code, and let me know what you think. It’s all about making things simpler and more accessible.

Try it live: https://single-neuron.scientific-visualization.org

Visualize a morphology from neuromorpho using the swc url parameter:
