- Neuroscience is undergoing an open-access revolution. Repositories in areas such as neuroimaging and genomics have provided a paradigm shift in the way we are now able to analyze, share, and re-use vast amounts of data from multiple laboratories. Unfortunately, one area that is far behind in this respect is behavioural evaluation of animal models. Thanks to a new set of automated tests based on touchscreen technology [1], there is potential for standardized outputs in animal behavioral neuroscience that are consistent with open-access sharing. However, there is currently no mechanism to provide quality control for such data or to deposit them in an open access repository for reuse, like approaches used in the imaging and genomics fields. In order to enable cognitive data, obtained using the highly translatable and automated touchscreen technology to join the open-access revolution, we have developed MouseBytes, a web-based repository that enables researchers to store, share, visualize, and analyze cognitive data. We envision that MouseBytes will be the premier platform to allow cognitive data to become open access, searchable and to be reused. Furthermore, MouseBytes will support the innovative integration of standardized behavioural with MRI and RNA-sequencing, allowing comprehensive multi-modal information in mouse models of disease.
