Neuroscience package extension of admiral

pharmaverse.github.io/admiralneuro ↗

admiralneuro is widening from Alzheimer's PET into general nervous-system findings.

pharmaversecdisc-adamneurologypet-imagingclinical-templates
◆Current state
The package launched in September 2025 with amyloid and tau PET analysis for Alzheimer's studies — centiloid computation, five neuro datasets, and ADAPET/ADTPET template programs. The February 2026 update is tagged twice on the same day, 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 carrying the same notes, and adds olfactory testing plus a nervous-system findings template.
◆Where it's heading
Development is moving from one disease area toward a general neuro toolkit: UPSIT smell-identification percentiles now sit alongside PET quantitation, and the ADNV template covers nervous-system findings broadly rather than PET specifically. Internal SDTM test data was retired in favour of pharmaversesdtm, tying the package more tightly to the shared pharmaverse data layer.
◆Prediction
More assessment-specific compute functions on the UPSIT pattern are the obvious next step, each arriving with a vignette and a template program alongside it.

    Pre-release tag superseded the same day by 0.2.1

    A same-day duplicate of the 0.2.1 notes, missing only the release-housekeeping line. The 0.2.1 tag is the one that shipped; this entry records an earlier cut of the same release.

    UPSIT olfactory scoring and an ADNV template

    Extends the package past its Alzheimer's PET origin: a UPSIT lookup table with compute_upsit_percentil() for smell-identification analyses, an ADNV template for nervous-system findings, and a move from internal test data to pharmaversesdtm. The broadening is real but stays inside the established admiral dataset-function-template-vignette pattern.

    Initial release with amyloid and tau PET workflows

    The initial CRAN release, scoped tightly to Alzheimer's PET: compute_centiloid(), five neuro SDTM and ADaM datasets, and ADAPET/ADTPET template programs. It sets the pattern — dataset, compute function, template, vignette — that 0.2.x repeats for olfactory testing.
