Understanding anesthetic effects in preclinical fMRI is key to produce significant findings. Over the last decades massive amounts of data have been produced on anesthesia, yet major portions lie idle to the community. Here we introduce an open, community driven infrastructure that combines the wiki principle (dynamic creating, correcting, commenting) with a powerful dynamic databank approach (fast and easy search, and network visualization of related findings) on anesthetic effects. OpenMind provides (1) convenient data upload, (2) fast and efficient search and filter functions, (3) embedding of findings in a larger dynamic context, and (4) low maintenance.
