About SPARC Portal

The SPARC Portal is an open community platform for neuroscience and systems physiology research, focused on bridging studies of the body and brain. It hosts 451 total multi-species datasets and models, plus interactive tools for exploring neural pathways, gene expression, and anatomical connectivity. Users can browse resources by topic, species, or experimental approach, contribute their own datasets and models, and access programmatic APIs for research use.

Key features

  • Interactive full-body map of neural pathways and anatomical connections
  • Browseable catalog of 451 datasets and models filtered by approach, anatomy, species, or consortium
  • Gene expression query tool for DRG neuron subtypes with UMAP and violin plots
  • Interactive cell explorer for neuron types with marker genes and axon phenotype data
  • Computational platform for building and running reproducible workflows without local setup
  • Natural language interface for querying neural connectivity knowledge bases
Best for: The SPARC Portal is most useful for neuroscience and systems physiology researchers studying peripheral nervous system function and connections between the body and brain.
Good for
  • Hosts a large collection of 451 multi-species datasets and models for body-brain research
