Database of helpful set of CreERT2 driver lines expressing in various regions of the developing and adult zebrafish. The lines have been generated via the insertion of a mCherry-T2A-CreERT2 in a gene trap approach or by using promoter fragments driving CreERT2. You can search the list of all transgenic lines or single entries by insertions (gene) or expression patterns (anatomy/region). In most cases the CreERT2 expression profile using in situ hybridization at 24 hpf and 48 hpf is shown, but also additional information (e.g. mCherry or CreERT2 expression at adult stages, transactivation of a Cre-dependent reporter line) is displayed. Currently, not all insertions have been mapped to a genomic location but the database will be regularly updated adding newly generated insertions and mapping information. Your help in improving and broadening the database by giving your opinion or knowledge of expression patterns is highly appreciated.

The Brain Bank was developed with two service-minded objectives: provide a free brain autopsy to confirm clinical diagnosis of dementia, and collect, bank and provide brain tissue to qualified scientific researchers studying diseases related to dementia. By working together, patients and researchers can help us understand the origins of neurodegenerative disease and eventually improve the treatment and care of dementia. The clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can only be confirmed by brain autopsy, or the examination of brain tissue after death. This examination will determine a patients's precise type of dementia. To confirm the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, for example, the brain tissue is examined for amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles by a neuropathologist. The presence of these plaques and tangles will verify the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. While it is important to us to enroll patients with dementia, it is equally important to enroll people with no dementia. These subjects are termed as controls and the brain tissue from controls will enable researchers to make comparisons to brain tissue from dementia patients. We are seeking donations from individuals who have had an age-related neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy Body or other related dementia.

The PEDIATRIC BRAIN TUMOR CONSORTIUM (PBTC) is a multidisciplinary cooperative research organization devoted to the study of correlative tumor biology and new therapies for primary CNS tumors of childhood. PBTC's mission is to contribute rapidly and effectively to the understanding and cure of these tumors through the conduct of multi-center, multidisciplinary, innovative studies with designs and analyses based on uniformly high quality statistical science. While the primary mission of the PBTC is to identify through laboratory and clinical science superior treatment strategies for children with brain cancers, the PBTC investigators recognize their profound responsibility to meet the special needs of the children and families as they face this enormous challenge. Members are committed to working within their institutions and communities to improve support services and follow up care for these patients and their families. The PBTC's primary objective is to rapidly conduct novel phase I and II clinical evaluations of new therapeutic drugs, new biological therapies, treatment delivery technologies and radiation treatment strategies in children from infancy to 21 years of age with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. A second objective is to characterize reliable markers and predictors (direct or surrogate) of brain tumors' responses to new therapies. The Consortium conducts research on brain tumor specimens in the laboratory to further understand the biology of pediatric brain tumors. A third objective is to develop and coordinate innovative neuro-imaging techniques. Through the PBTC's Neuro-Imaging Center, formed in May 2000, research to evaluate new treatment response criteria and neuro-imaging methods to understand regional brain effects is in progress. These imaging techniques can also advance understanding of significant neuro-toxicity in a developing child's central nervous system. The Neuro-Imaging Center is supported in part by private sources - grants from foundations and non-profit organizations - in addition to the NCI. As an NCI funded Consortium, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC) is required to make research data available to other investigators for use in research projects. An investigator who wishes to use individual patient data from one or more of the Consortium's completed and published studies must submit in writing a description of the research project, the PBTC studies from which data are requested, the specific data requested, and a list of investigators involved with the project and their affiliated research institutions. A copy of the requesting investigator's CV must also be provided. Participating Institutions: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Children's National Medical Center (Washington, DC), Children's Memorial Hospital (Chicago), Duke University, National Cancer Institute, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Texas Children's Cancer Center, University of California at San Francisco, and University of Pittsburgh.

Autism research program that makes available post-mortem brain tissue to qualified scientists all over the world. Working directly with tissue banks, organ procurement agencies, medical examiners and the general public, this is the largest program dedicated to increasing and enhancing the availability of post-mortem brain tissue for basic research in autism. To date, the ATP has collected and stored more than 170 brains in their repositories at Harvard (US) and Oxford (UK). These brains are processed by formalin fixation and/or snap frozen to properly provide high quality tissue of all brain regions, in support of biological research in autism. The ATP is unique in that they diligently pursue all available clinical data (pre and post mortem) on tissue donors in order to create the most biologically relevant brain repository for autism research. These data, together with tissue resources from both banks and associated repositories, are presented to all interested researchers through their extensive web-based data portal (login required). The ATP is not a brain bank, but works directly with the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center in Boston (HBTRC), Massachusetts to serve as its tissue repository. This program augments brain bank functions by: * Creating the most biologically relevant brain tissue repository possible * Fully covering all costs associated with brain extraction and transfer to the repositories at Harvard (US and Canada) and Oxford (UK). * Providing scientific oversight of tissue distributions * Overseeing and managing all tissue grants * Clinically phenotyping and acquiring extensive medical data on all of their donors * Providing continuing family support and communication to all of their donors * Directly supporting researchers to facilitate autism research * Maintaining a robust web based data management and secure on-line global interface system * Developing and supporting ATP established scientific initiatives * Actively providing public outreach and education The ATP is not a clinical organ procurement agency, but rather they facilitate the wishes of donors and families to donate their tissue to autism research. Through the ATP's established international infrastructure, they work with any accredited tissue bank, organ procurement agency, or medical examiner that receives a family's request to donate their loved one's tissue to the program. Once contacted, the ATP will insure that the family's request to donate their loved one's tissue is faithfully met, covering all costs to the family and partnering agency as well as ensuring the tissues' proper and rapid transport to the ATP's repository at the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center (HBTRC) in Boston, Massachusetts.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022.Center hosting a number of related projects concerning neural networks, functional neuroimaging, multimedia signal processing, and biomedical signal processing. Neuroinformatics is a research field rooted in classical disciplines like signal processing, biology, physics, computer science and engineering. Neuroinformatics combines learning from the brain and learning about the brain. By studying information processing in the brain neuroinformatics invents new computing paradigms (e.g., artificial neural networks) with the objective of understanding the dynamics of the conscious mind. Artificial neural networks is an active neuroinformatics research field, which combines many approaches to adaptive signal processing in solving real world problems. They began using neural networks for general nonlinear adaptive signal processing. Since 1991 the CONNECT groups have participated in the development of neural computing as an advanced, non-linear statistical tool, which has been applied to forecasting within dynamical systems, pattern recognition, and medical image analysis, particularly functional neuroimages. While neural computing has largely been viewed as a black box approach, they have initiated research aimed at opening this black box, using hypertext, multimedia, and interactivity. Their key objective is to convert abstract models into intuitive knowledge through interactive visualization.
