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.

本研究依托PaleoBRAIN项目共招募75名受试者（女性36名，男性39名，年龄区间为18至75岁），用于开展配套的生物学与行为学实验。磁共振成像（Magnetic Resonance Imaging，MRI）数据采集工作于2022年至2023年间，在法国巴黎皮提耶-萨尔佩特里尔医院脑研究所神经成像研究中心完成。南地中海第二个人保护委员会（Comité de Protection des Personnes Sud-Méditerranée II）批准了本研究成像中心的研究方案，伦理审查编号为221 B38，识别编号为2021-A02404-37。所有受试者均接受了专项磁共振扫描，其中包括T1加权成像与超短回波时间（ultrashort time-to-echo，UTE）序列。上述数据被用于重建每位受试者的大脑与颅内模三维模型。
