The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study is a prospective longitudinal epidemiological study conducted in four U.S. communities in North Carolina, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Minnesota. ARIC is designed to investigate the causes of atherosclerosis and its clinical outcomes, and variations in cardiovascular risk factors, medical care, and disease by race, gender, location, and date. ARIC...

The Framingham Heart Study (FHS) is an ongoing cohort study dedicated to identifying common factors or characteristics that contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is a collaborative project of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and Boston University. In 1948, an original cohort of 5,209 men and women between 30 and 62 years old were recruited from Framingham, MA. An Offspring Cohort...

Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) was a large clinical trial examining methods of lowering the rate of cardiovascular disease in adults with type two diabetes. The study was composed of three main clinical trials: an intensive lowering of blood sugar levels (Glycemia Trial), intensive lowering of blood pressure (Blood Pressure Trial), and treatment of multiple blood lipids...

The Jackson Heart Study (JHS) is a population-based longitudinal study based in Jackson, Mississippi that investigates risk factors for cardiovascular disease among African Americans. It is a collaborative research project by the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson State University, and Tougaloo College. The primary objective is to investigate environmental and genetic factors associated...

This dataset was created as part of a prospective review of somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) recordings obtained during intraoperative monitoring (IOM) on instrumented spinal surgeries that were performed for chronic underlying neurologic and neuromuscular conditions, including scoliosis, myelopathy, and spinal stenosis, on patients who did not exhibit any postoperative neurologic deficits. For...

This dataset was compiled as part of a study to compare T1-T4 decrement between upper and lower extremity muscles as a way to investigate the difference between recovery time from a neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA). The study analyzed the differences between recovery of the foot, abductor hallucis muscle, and hand, first dorsal interosseous muscle, by application of quantitative train-of-four (TOF)...

This dataset was collected for a study to replicate previous work on hippocampal physiology predictive of successful encoding using an associative memory paradigm in a surgical intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) group and extend those investigations to a chronic ambulatory iEEG population using RNS System devices (NeuroPace, Inc.). The primary objective was to compare the hippocampal gamma...

This data was collected during clinical examinations at the NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center between the years of 2003 and 2008. Subjects included in this dataset have a confirmed epilepsy diagnosis from either routine electroencephalogram (EEG) or video-electroencephalogram (VEEG). The dataset does not include raw EEG data. There are 228 subjects in total. The following information was collected...

This dataset is composed of eight bilateral silicon-probe multi-cellular electrophysiological recordings performed on four male Long-Evans rats. These recordings were performed to assess the effect of novel spatial learning on hippocampal CA1 neural firing and LFP patterns in naïve animals. Each session consisted of a long (~4 hour) PRE rest/sleep epoch home-cage recordings performed in a familiar...

The data set contains recordings made from multiple anterior thalamic nuclei, mainly the antero-dorsal (AD) nucleus, and subicular areas, mainly the post-subiculum (PoS), in freely moving mice. Thalamic and subicular electrodes yielding high number of the so-called Head-Direction (HD) cells were likely to be located in the AD nucleus and the PoS, respectively. Electrode placement was confirmed by histology....
