  We describe a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) dataset from individuals from
the African nation of Nigeria. The dataset contains pseudonymized structural
MRI (T1w, T2w, FLAIR) data of clinical quality. The dataset contains data from
36 images from healthy control subjects, 32 images from individuals diagnosed
with age-related dementia and 20 from individuals with Parkinson's disease.
There is currently a paucity of data from the African continent. Given the
potential for Africa to contribute to the global neuroscience community, this
first MRI dataset represents both an opportunity and benchmark for future
studies to share data from the African continent.
