Neuron morphology and sub-neuronal patterns offer vital insights into cell typing and the structural organization of brain networks. The community-collaborative BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) project has yielded a vast amount of whole-brain imaging data. However, reconstructing multi-scale neuron morphometry at a whole-brain scale requires not only the integration of diverse hardware devices, tools, and algorithms but also a dedicated production workflow. To address these challenges, we developed a cloud-based, collaborative platform capable of handling peta-scale imaging data. Using this platform, we generated the largest multi-scale morphometry dataset from hundreds of sparsely labeled mouse brains. The morphometry dataset comprises 182,497 annotated cell bodies, 15,441 locally traced morphologies, and 1,876 fully reconstructed morphologies. We also identified sub-neuronal arborizations for both axons and dendrites, along with the primary axonal tracts connecting them. In addition, we identified 2.63 million putative boutons. All morphometric data were registered to the Allen Common Coordinate Framework (CCF) atlas. The morphometry dataset has proven to be an invaluable resource for whole-brain cross-scale morphological studies in mouse.
