Database of 75 endocasts and 75 brains obtained on the same sample of volunteers

A total of 75 patients (36 females, 39 males, age range: 18–75 years) were recruited during the PaleoBRAIN project for complementary biological and behavioural experiments. MRI acquisitions occurred at the Center for Neuroimaging Research, Brain Institute, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris, France, in 2022 and 2023. The ‘Comité de Protection des Personnes Sud-Méditerranée II’ approved the research protocol for the imaging centre used for this study (comity reference 221 B38, identification number 2021-A02404-37). All volunteers underwent, in particular, T1 and ultrashort time-to-echo (UTE) sequences. Those data were used to reconstruct 3D models of the brain and endocast of each of the volunteers.
