Neurobiology Data Repositories
- Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS)
To date we host experimental data sets of high quality that will be valuable for testing computational models of the brain and new analysis methods. The data include physiological recordings from sensory and memory systems, as well as eye movement data. For information about a data set select the data set in Data Sets and then navigate to the "About" page. In addition, this website hosts a forum for each data set and a general discussion forum. - Human Connectome Project
Mapping the human brain is one of the great scientific challenges of the 21st century. The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is tackling a key aspect of this challenge by elucidating the neural pathways that underlie brain function and behavior. Starting with the first quarterly (Q1) data release (March, 2013), HCP datasets are being made freely available to the scientific community. Four imaging modalities are used to acquire data with unprecedented resolution in space and time. Resting-state functional MRI (rfMRI) and diffusion imaging (dMRI) provide information about brain connectivity. Task-evoked fMRI reveals much about brain function. Structural MRI captures the shape of the highly convoluted cerebral cortex. Behavioral data provides the basis for relating brain circuits to individual differences in cognition, perception, and personality. In addition, a subset of participants will be studied using magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Twitter: @HumanConnectome - Pediatric MRI Data RepositoryThis multi-site longitudinal study used technologies (anatomical MRI, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and MR spectroscopy (MRS)) to map pediatric brain development and has been organized around two age cohorts, or "Objectives". Data collection began in November 2001 and ended in August 2007.
NIH Supported Data Repositories
- NIH Supported Data Sharing Repositories
This table lists NIH-supported data repositories that make data accessible for reuse. Most accept submissions of appropriate data from NIH-funded investigators (and others), but some restrict data submission to only those researchers involved in a specific research network. Also included are resources that aggregate information about biomedical data and information sharing systems. The table can be sorted according by name and by NIH Institute or Center and may be searched using keywords so that you can find repositories more relevant to your data. Links are provided to information about submitting data to and accessing data from the listed repositories.
