Overview
The CRCNS data sharing initiative provides a large, curated collection of experimental and computational neuroscience datasets. These include electrophysiology, imaging, behavioral, and simulation data organized by brain region, system, species, and methodological focus.
Features
1. Brain Region–Specific Datasets
Datasets are grouped into folders by brain area or structure, allowing targeted access:
- Visual cortex – Data from visual cortical areas.
- Auditory cortex – Data related to auditory processing.
- Inner ear/cochlea – Peripheral auditory system datasets.
- Frontal cortex – Frontal cortical activity and related experiments.
- Prefrontal cortex (PFC) – Executive function and PFC recordings.
- Parietal cortex – Sensory integration and parietal activity.
- Motor cortex – Motor control and movement-related neural data.
- Somatosensory cortex – Touch and body-sensation related datasets.
- Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) – Reward, decision making, and OFC recordings.
- Hippocampus – Memory and navigation-related datasets.
- Thalamus – Thalamic relay and processing data.
- Retina – Early visual system recordings from the retina.
- LGN (Lateral Geniculate Nucleus) – Thalamo-visual pathway datasets.
- Basal forebrain – Modulatory and basal forebrain recordings.
- Brainstem – Brainstem circuits and responses.
- Cerebellum – Motor coordination and cerebellar datasets.
2. Species and Preparation–Specific Collections
- Avian – Bird nervous system datasets.
- Insect – Invertebrate insect nervous system data.
- Aplysia – Marine mollusk (Aplysia) neural datasets.
- Tunicates – Marine invertebrate (tunicate) datasets.
3. Behavioral and Systems-Level Data
- Eye movements – Neural and/or behavioral data related to oculomotor control.
- Movements – Data related to body movements, such as reaching and motor behavior.
4. Methodology- and Task-Focused Collections
- Challenges – Datasets specifically designed for prediction or modeling challenges (e.g., predicting neuron responses).
- Methods – Datasets notable for particular experimental or analytical methods.
- Tools – Software tools for data processing, accompanied by example datasets illustrating their use.
- Simulations – Computational and simulated neural data.
5. Data Types (from overall initiative description)
- Electrophysiology recordings.
- Imaging data.
- Behavioral measurements.
- Computational/simulation outputs.
