Special Collections
|
The "Special Collections" section of the fMRIDC web site features particularly novel MRI data sets that deserve being highlighted as especially unique examples of using MRI to examine brain structure and function. These data sets are often from special or rare populations of subjects, non-human species, or from studies of particular uniqueness as to be of interest to more than just cognitive neuroscientists but to a great many subspecialties of science. Some of these data sets may have resulted in more than just a single peer-reviewed publication or have made a especially novel contribution to neuroscience. We are excited to present these studies and wish to recognize the extraordinary efforts of the scientists who provided them. Check back often as we highlight other unique sets of functional and structural MRI data.

Frontal-Hippocampal Double Dissociation Between Normal Aging and Alzheimer's Disease
2-2004-1168X
Cerebral Cortex 2004 Sep
;:
p
PubMed ID: 15371293
This unique data set from Head and co-workers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO contains high-resolution structural image data from 150 subjects ranging in age from 18-93 years. We highlight these data as a Special Collection since they span the entire life span and may be of interest to those studying patterns of morphological change in the aging brain.

Rilling, JK, Insel, TR.
Evolution of the cerebellum in primates: differences in relative volume among monkeys, apes and humans
2-2003-115E9
Brain, Behavior and Evolution 1998 Dec
;52(6):
p308-14
PubMed ID: 9807015
These data from 44 primate specimens originally collected by James Rilling and Thomas Insel, include old and new world monkeys, gorillas, bonobos, as well as humans and have formed the basis for several important studies of primate brain anatomy. They should be of particular interest to comparative neuroanatomists and evolutionary biologists. Educators will also find them useful as a tool for pointing out to students the fundamental structural differences between primate species.
