Synopsis

We introduce the Digital Brain Bank (open.win.ox.ac.uk/DigitalBrainBank), a digital platform providing open access to curated, multimodal post-mortem neuroimaging datasets. Datasets span three themes; Digital Anatomist: datasets for neuroanatomical investigations; Digital Brain Zoo: datasets for comparative neuroanatomy; Digital Pathologist: datasets for neuropathology investigations. The first release includes 21 distinctive whole-brain diffusion MRI datasets, alongside microscopy and complementary MRI modalities. This includes one of the highest-resolution whole-brain human diffusion MRI datasets ever acquired, whole-brain diffusion MRI in 14 non-human primate species, and one of the largest post-mortem whole-brain cohort imaging studies in neurodegeneration. Our resource facilitates incorporating post-mortem data into neuroimaging studies.
