A disease-specific functional connectome of Parkinson's disease patients

The contribution of the presented work is a data record featuring a disease-specific dataset of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) acquisitions of 75 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients prior to deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation - the Tor-PD connectome. Specifically, the dataset comprises 77 matrices (in the folder entitled 'vol'), each containing blood-oxygen-level-dependent-signal (BOLD) signal values of every voxel in 77 corresponding rs-fMRI acquisitions in standard MNI152 NLIN 2009b space. BOLD signal time-series matrices are given as .mat files and are viewable in MATLAB. In addition to the matrices, we have also provided a mask in NIfTI-1 format corresponding to voxels in standard space where a BOLD signal could be calculated in >80% of the 77 matrices (NaN mask). The data records derived from this work can be obtained through Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/) and Lead DBS (http://lead-dbs.org/). Crucially, the format of choice can be directly used without further conversion or preprocessing steps with openly available software (http://lead-dbs.org/).
