Freesurfer files released

John Richards — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 2:56:07 GMT

These are average template files computed from Freesurfer, or Infant Freesurfer. The individual FS files were translated into the average template space. The “AVG” are averages of the gray matter ribbon and the cortical thickness. The “ANTS…jointfusion” are joint fusion atlases constructed with the ANTS jointfusion method. The “Infant Freesurfer” was used for the ages from 0 to 2 yrs; “Freesurfer” used for ages 2 yrs through 89 yrs. If marked with “allagesfreesurfer”, this is an adaption of the infant freesurfer method which uses average templates for the aseg initialization volumes, from avg templates +/- one “template age”. This method is particularly useful for the infant ages, for which “Infant Freesurfer” does not work with several participants in each template age, wherease “AllAgesFreesurfer” works for almost all infant participants and all child and adult participants.
Note that these files have not been verified for accuracy; and the “allagesfreesurfer” method is not tested or published and currently under development (December 2022).

Version 4 update

John Richards — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 2:53:19 GMT

Hi all. I have just released "Version 4.0" files for all ages. The current version includes a large increase in the number of adults, and some increases in the other ages. I also have added freesurfer information (thickness, gm_ribbon, aseg, full freesurfer files for templates) and DTI information (FA, MD, RD, L- and V-values). This will be the final release of the database.

I am working on a publication describing the database, updates, and contents. I'll send a note when it is available.

Good luck in your research. Please contact me for issues or help with the templates

Adults update

John Richards — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 2:06:48 GMT

This is release of the adults templates, version 3. It is a major release and likely the last version for the adults and other ages. There may be minor releases with new data types, but the basic templates will remain unchanged.

his is the adult section of the Neurodevelopmental MRI Database, Version 3.0. It consists of folders organized into "Brain", "Head", and "Sources". Each folder has subfolders with appropriate information (e.g., Brain has Atlas, Segments; Sources has BEM, Curry, FEM, ...).

Neurodevelopmental MRI Database Updates

John Richards — Thu, 06 May 2021 2:47:46 GMT

Hi all. I have just release "Version 3.0" files for infants, preschool, children, adolescents, and young adults. There are some improvements in the templates and additional atlases. The most substantial change is a large increase in the number of MRIs used at each age. This is the last planned major update for these age groups. I am currently working on the Adult templates. However, that will require grant support (June/July 2021 IRG) and substantial processing. I have over 3000 MRIs for 11 templates, average more than 270 MRIs per age group. When this is updated I'll send a reminder note about the adult database and a note about the entire database.

Version 3 is my last planned "major update". One goal when i started this work was to have more then 100 MRIs per template. That will be true for 28 of the 36 templates, a major accomplishment.

Good luck in your research. Please contact me for issues or help with the templates
