mascot

The goal of mascot is to provide easy access to recent macroscale structural connectomes of the Human brain obtained from diffusion MRI data through diffusion modeling and subsequent so-called tractography.

Datasets

Currently, the package contains:

• the HCP-YA845 and HCP-YA1065 tractography atlases from Yeh FC, Panesar S, Fernandes D, Meola A, Yoshino M, Fernandez-Miranda JC, Vettel JM, Verstynen T. Population-averaged atlas of the macroscale human structural connectome and its network topology. Neuroimage. 2018 Sep 1;178:57-68 (2021 update).

Each white matter fascicle comes in the form of a tibble in which each row is a point characterized by the following five variables:

• X, Y, Z: 3D coordinates of the current point;
• PointId: Identification number of the current point among all points of the streamline it belongs to;
• StreamlineId: Identification number of the streamline which the current point belongs to.

Installation

You can install the development version of mascot from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
