Functional MRI data from isoflurane-anesthetized macaques, marmosets, and rats

  • 1. German Primate Center
  • 2. A.I.V. Institute for Molecular Sciences

Description

This dataset contains unprocessed task-free functional MRI (fMRI) data acquired in three different mammalian species: long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis), common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus), and rats (Rattus Norvegicus, Wistar strain). The data were obtained during isoflurane anesthesia, with the animals intubated and mechanically ventilated. All experiments were carried out in accordance with the guidelines from  Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes.

This dataset supplements the following preprint:

Sirmpilatze N, Mylius J, Ortiz-Rios M, Baudewig J, Paasonen J, Golkowski D, Ranft A, Ilg R, Gröhn O, Boretius S. 2021. Spatial signatures of anesthesia-induced burst-suppression differ between primates and rodents. bioRxiv. doi:10.1101/2021.10.15.464515

Data structure

The main data files are organized into four zipped folders - Macaque.zip, Marmoset.zip, Rat1.zip, Rat2.zip - each constituting a dataset formatted according to the Brain Imaging Data Structure specifications (BIDS v1.6.0).

  • Each BIDS-formatted dataset contains subfolders for individual subjects (e.g. sub-01, sub-02, etc.), as well as a tab-separated text file, participants.tsv, with some essential information about the subjects (e.g. age, weight, sex).
  • Each subject-specific folder contains subfolders named func and anat, storing fMRI and structural MRI data respectively. The (f)MRI data are provided in NIfTI format (suffixed with .nii.gz). Each NIfTI file is accompanied by a .json sidecar holding metadata.
  • The func subfolders also include tab-separated text files named as {sub-id}_scans.tsv (e.g. sub-01_scans.tsv). These files provide additional information on the fMRI runs within the func subfolder, such as the isoflurane concentration during the acquisition of the fMRI run, duration of the run, etc.
  • The column names in participants.tsv and {sub-id}_scans.tsv files are explained in accompanying participants.json and {sub-id}_scans.json files.

Example data

Before you commit to downloading the BIDS-formatted datasets, we encourage you to examine the example data that we provide in the root folder. These include one anatomical (stuctural MRI) and one functional (fMRI) scan from each of the four datasets (Rat2 contains functional scans only), with their respecitve .json sidecars.
