NIF now pleased to serve more electrophysiology data

For years, physiology has been lagging far behind anatomy as data sharing is still in infancy in that community as opposed to being fairly standard now in neuro-anatomy.

We are pleased to announce that the Physiobank registry resource from MIT, containing data from a set of physiology experiments has been added to the NIF Data Federation.

 

This brings us to 6 sources of data (anatomy is still winning, but perhaps we can change that)

CRCNS, a repository of e-phys data (patch clamp mostly)

NeuroElectro, a rather large listing of cellular properties mined from e-phys papers

NeuronDB, a curated set of e-phys properties of known cell types including currents, receptors and transmitters

EEG-base, a repository of EEG data

Neurodatabase, a repository of extracellular data sets.

 

Note, this list may be incomplete because it does not include Model data, so please see Integrated Models, a virtual database currently indexing computational models from:ModelDB, Open Source Brain, SimTK and  CellML.
