APEX-CONNECTS: Brain Connectivity Maps Across Species and Scales

APEX-CONNECTS is a central data hub for the BRAIN Initiative CONNECTS program, which aims to create detailed maps of brain wiring. It coordinates data and tools from research on brain connectivity in humans and animals using advanced imaging technologies. The dataset is hosted on AWS Open Data by the Brainlife Team under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Train machine learning models for brain structure segmentation based on high-resolution imaging data.
• Analyze comparative neuroanatomy across species using the coordinated multi-species data.
• Develop tools for brain connectivity mapping and network analysis based on the described wiring maps.

Strengths

• Data is part of the BRAIN Initiative CONNECTS program, a major neuroscience research effort.
• Serves as a central hub coordinating data and tools from multiple research projects.
• Uses advanced imaging technologies for data generation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
