Neurodatabase Tutorial

Browse Neurodatabase in NIF
For more information, visit Neurodatabase Homepage or the NeuroLex entry for Neurodatabase

Neurodatabase.org is a repository of electrophysiological data, mainly single and multiple unit activity experiments are stored. 

To access the data starting at a recording location is useful.  Below we have typed in visual cortex.

The query yields results from multiple databases, but under dataset, we find Neurodatabase.  The fields visible to the NIF are the study name, subject, description of the study, the protocol, recording area, and location.

Clicking on the blue link, leads to the LNI neurodatabase site, where additional information about each dataset is stored as well as the link to download the entire dataset (see download link under the Results section) or any of its components.

Scrolling down reveals the experimental components, which can be downloaded or viewed from the website by clicking on the word (view). 

Clicking on (view) opens a java program that displays the timing of spikes in the experiment.
