Subject | Neuroscience, Biological Psychiatry |
Specific subject area | Functional MRI connectivity in transgender and cisgender variants |
Type of data | Brain MRI images & Correlation matrices Supplementary Tables & Figures |
How data were acquired | Magnetic resonance images were acquired with a 3T scanner (MAGNETOM Trio, Siemens, Germany), using an 8-channel head coil. Software: AFNI for imaging basic resting-state pre-processing Python + FSL for ICA-AROMA noise correction FSL for non-parametric statistical imaging analysis Matlab for correlation connectivity matrices |
Data format | Raw and analyzed data in nifti (.nii.gz) and Matlab (.mat) formats |
Parameters for data collection | T1-weighted images: TR = 2,300 ms, TE = 2.98 ms, TI = 900 ms, flip angle = 9°, matrix size = 256 × 256 mm, 240 slices, resolution = 1 mm isotropic, bandwidth = 240 Hz/pixel, total scan time of 7.48 minutes. T2*-weighted gradient-echo echo planar imaging was acquired in the resting-state: TR = 2,500s, TE = 28ms, flip angle = 80°, matrix size = 256 × 256, 40 slices, resolution = 3 mm isotropic, bandwidth = 2404 Hz/pixel, volumes = 240 (total scan time of 10 minutes), no in-plane GRAPPA, through-plane multiband or any Partial Fourier were used. |
Description of data collection | Participants were instructed to keep their eyes closed, not to fall asleep and not to think of anything in particular. |
Data source location | University of Barcelona, Barcelona |
