The state of the field regarding the diagnosis and treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) is discussed. Current challenges and opportunities facing the research and clinical communities are outlined, including appropriate quantitative and qualitative analyses of the heterogeneity of biological, social, and psychiatric factors which may contribute to MDD.
This lesson gives a description of the BrainHealth Databank, a repository of many types of health-related data, whose aim is to accelerate research, improve care, and to help better understand and diagnose mental illness, as well as develop new treatments and prevention strategies.
This lesson corresponds to slides 46-78 of the PDF below.
This lesson describes not only the need for precision medicine, but also the current state of the methods, pharmacogenetic approaches, utility and implementation of such care today.
This lesson corresponds to slides 1-50 of the PowerPoint below.
This lecture discusses what defines an integrative approach regarding research and methods, including various study designs and models which are appropriate choices when attempting to bridge data domains; a necessity when whole-person modelling.
This lesson continues with the second workshop on reproducible science, focusing on additional open source tools for researchers and data scientists, such as the R programming language for data science, as well as associated tools like RStudio and R Markdown. Additionally, users are introduced to Python and iPython notebooks, Google Colab, and are given hands-on tutorials on how to create a Binder environment, as well as various containers in Docker and Singularity.
This talk goes over Neurobagel, an open-source platform developed for improved dataset sharing and searching.
In this lesson, you will learn about the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) and how this project adopts a federated approach to data sharing.
In this second part of the lecture Data Science and Reproducibility, you will learn how to apply the awareness of the intersection between neuroscience and data science (discussed in part one) to an understanding of the current reproducibility crisis in biomedical science and neuroscience.
This lecture covers the benefits and difficulties involved when re-using open datasets, and how metadata is important to the process.
This lesson provides a quick tour of some data repositories and how to download and manipulate data from them.
KnowledgeSpace (KS) is a data discoverability portal and neuroscience encyclopedia that was developed to make it easier for the neuroscience community to find publicly available datasets that adhere to the FAIR Principles and to provide an integrated view of neuroscience concepts found in Wikipedia and NeuroLex linked with PubMed and 17 of the world's leading neuroscience repositories. In short, KS provides a single point of entry where reseaerchers can search for a neuroscience concept of interest and receive results that include: i. a description of the term found in Wikipedia/NeuroLex, ii. links to publicly available datasets related to the concept of interest, and iii. up-to-date references that support the concept of interests found in PubMed. APIs are available so that developers of other neuroscience research infrastructures can integrate KS components in their infrastructures. If your repository or your favorite repository is not indexed in KS, please contact us.
In this lesson, attendees will learn about the data structure standards, specifically the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), an INCF-endorsed standard for organizing, annotating, and describing data collected during neuroimaging experiments.

Best practices: the tips and tricks on how to get your Miniscope to work and how to get your experiments off the ground.
This talk compares various sensors and resolutions for in vivo neural recordings.
This talk delves into challenges and opportunities of Miniscope design, seeking the optimal balance between scale and function.
Attendees of this talk will learn aobut computational imaging systems and associated pipelines, as well as open-source software solutions supporting miniscope use.
This talk covers the present state and future directions of calcium imaging data analysis, particularly in the context of one-photon vs two-photon approaches.
In this talk, results from rodent experimentation using in vivo imaging are presented, demonstrating how the monitoring of neural ensembles may reveal patterns of learning during spatial tasks.
