Resting-state functional MRI derivatives: A dataset derived from the The Comprehensive Assessment of Neurodegeneration and Dementia Study
Resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) holds promise for the detection and characterisation of dementia. The Comprehensive Assessment of Neurodegeneration and Dementia (COMPASS-ND) Study, by the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA), provides a unique resource to study deeply phenotyped neurodegenerative conditions. We present RSFC derivatives for 784 participants (data release 7 of the cohort) who were either cognitively unimpaired or diagnosed primarily with Alzheimers disease (AD), mixed dementia (AD with a vascular component), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), vascular MCI, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinsons disease with or without MCI or dementia, Lewy body disease or subjective cognitive impairment. Functional MRI scans were preprocessed using fMRIPrep, and time-series and whole-brain connectomes generated using three atlases at multiple resolutions, denoised using seven different techniques. High-motion artifacts were managed using a liberal quality control threshold appropriate for an older clinical population, resulting in data from 680 participants. These derivatives are made available to the research community to accelerate research on RSFC biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease, reducing duplication of effort, saving computational resources, and improving standardisation across studies.
