NeuroDataSets

The NeuroDataSets package offers a rich and diverse collection of datasets focused on the brain, the nervous system, and neurological and psychiatric disorders. It includes data on conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia, gliomas, and mental health.

The package contains a wide variety of data types, including clinical, experimental, neuroimaging, behavioral, cognitive, and simulated datasets. These datasets encompass structural and functional brain data, neurotransmission metrics, gene expression profiles, cognitive performance assessments, and treatment outcomes.
