The Turone Equine Social Brain Dataset

The Turone Equine Social Brain Dataset (TESBD) is a part of the EQUISOBRAIN project, funded by the European HORIZON 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) (project number: 101033271, MSCA European Individual Fellowship) awarded to Mathilde Valenchon (host supervisor Matthieu Keller), and by the 'Institut Français du Cheval et de l'Equitation' (IFCE). For a full description of the project please consult the main publication [Valenchon M et al 2025]. This dataset is composed by : 1/ a collection of MRI brain anatomical, functional and diffusion raw data available in nifti format and organized as BIDS format acquired from 23 Welsh foals (12 females and 11 males, 7-months old months) on the day of the scanning on a 3Tesla magnet (SIEMENS) at PIXANIM Plateform (https://www6.val-de-loire.inrae.fr/pixanim_eng/) between January and February 2022.This dataset has been used to create the The Turone Equine Brain Templates and Atlases (https://zenodo.org/records/10731031). MRI data have been analysed using the methods available on David A. Barrière Github Page (https://github.com/DavidBarriere/Equisobrain). 2/ Statistical analysis leaded by Gaëlle Lefort. The documents present all the analyses carried out in the main publication [Valenchon et al. 2025]. Behavioural, MRI, weighting and physiological data collected on foals in 2021 between 1 to 7 months will be found within the data folder. Statistical analysis details will be found in Equisobrain_2014.html and Equisobrain_2014.qmd files.Turone马社交脑数据集（Turone Equine Social Brain Dataset, TESBD）隶属于EQUISOBRAIN研究项目，该项目由欧盟地平线2020计划玛丽·居里行动（European HORIZON 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, MSCA）资助（项目编号：101033271，MSCA欧洲个人奖学金），资助对象为玛蒂尔德·瓦朗雄（Mathilde Valenchon），合作导师为马蒂厄·凯勒（Matthieu Keller），同时获得法国马匹与马术研究所（Institut Français du Cheval et de l'Equitation, IFCE）支持。如需了解项目完整细节，请参阅核心文献[Valenchon M et al 2025]。 本数据集包含以下内容： 1. 一批磁共振成像（Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI）原始数据，涵盖脑解剖、功能及弥散加权成像序列，格式为NIfTI，且按照脑成像数据结构（Brain Imaging Data Structure, BIDS）进行组织。数据采集于2022年1月至2月间，在PIXANIM平台（https://www6.val-de-loire.inrae.fr/pixanim_eng/）的3特斯拉西门子（SIEMENS）磁共振扫描仪上完成，受试对象为23匹7月龄威尔士马驹（雌性12匹，雄性11匹），扫描当日完成数据采集。本数据集用于构建《Turone马脑模板与图谱》（https://zenodo.org/records/10731031）。MRI数据分析采用David A. Barrière的GitHub开源页面（https://github.com/DavidBarriere/Equisobrain）所提供的方法完成。 2. 由盖尔·勒福尔（Gaëlle Lefort）主导的统计分析内容：本部分文档涵盖核心文献[Valenchon et al. 2025]中提及的全部分析流程。数据文件夹中包含2021年1月至7月间采集的马驹行为学、MRI成像、体重及生理学相关数据。统计分析的详细方法可在Equisobrain_2014.html与Equisobrain_2014.qmd文件中查阅。
