	abstract = {<p>HortaCloud is a cloud-based, open-source platform designed to facilitate the collaborative reconstruction of long-range projection neurons from whole-brain light microscopy data. By providing virtual environments directly within the cloud, it eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming data downloads, allowing researchers to work efficiently with terabyte- scale volumetric datasets. Standardization of computational resources in the cloud make deployment easier and more predictable. The pay-as-you-go cloud model reduces adoption barriers by eliminating upfront investments in expensive hardware. Finally, HortaCloud{\textquoteright}s decentralized architecture enables global collaboration between researchers and between institutions.</p>
