Brain/MINDS Marmoset Connectivity Resource: Anterograde and Retrograde Tracer Data

Brain/MINDS Marmoset Connectivity Resource (BMCR) provides neuronal tracer data from the Brain/MINDS project. The resource currently contains data from injections into the prefrontal cortex of a marmoset brain, with plans to expand to entire cortical areas and representative subcortical regions. It is made available by the RIKEN Center for Brain Science under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Mapping neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex based on anterograde tracer data.
• Analyzing neuronal projection origins based on retrograde tracer data.
• Building computational models of marmoset brain connectivity.
• Comparing connectivity patterns between cortical and planned subcortical injection sites.

Strengths

• Data is from the authoritative Brain/MINDS project and hosted by RIKEN Center for Brain Science.
• Includes both anterograde and retrograde neuronal tracer data types.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

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.
• Current scope is restricted to prefrontal cortex injections; broader coverage is planned but not yet available.
