Datasets

The NeuroHub platform is a node of several national and international datasets. Many datasets are public and immediately available, such as those available on the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP). However, some datasets, such as the UK Biobank or Human Connectome Project, are restricted and access must be granted by the respective bodies. Email support@neurohub.ca to inquire about accessing restricted datasets. Once access is approved, the data will be made available to you via your NeuroHub account.

Raw and processed data is available on NeuroHub, saving hours or days of download and processing time. You can connect to high performance computing infrastructure via CBRAIN for analysis, taking advantage of our large compute allocation.

Brainstem cholinergic-deficient mouse model datasetMale mice and their wild-type controls were evaluated at 7-10 months of age using the 5-Choice Serial Reaction Time (5-CSRT) task to assess attention. Immediately after (approximately at 9-12 months of age) these same mice were evaluated using the Extinction task to assess their ability to extinguish a response. A different cohort of male mice and their wild-type controls were evaluated at 11-13 months of age in the Pairwise visual discrimination (PVD) task to assess discrimination and reversal learning. Immediately after (still within 11-13 months of age) these same mice were evaluated using the Pairwise Associate Learning (PAL) task to assess learning and memory.Generally open

D2CreVGLUT3fx and ChATIRESVGLUT3fx mice and their wild-type controls were evaluated at 3-7 months of age in the PVD task to assess discrimination and reversal learning. Immediately after (still within 3-7 months of age) these same mice were evaluated using the Extinction task to assess their ability to extinguish a response. D2CreVAChTfx mice and their wild-type controls were evaluated at 5-7 months of age in the 5-CSRT task to assess attention.
