A cooperative research program to explore the issues related to the complex system of offender treatment services. Nine research centers and a Coordinating Center were created in partnership with researchers, criminal justice professionals, and drug abuse treatment practitioners to form a national research infrastructure. The establishment of CJ-DATS is an outstanding example of cooperation among Federal agencies with the research community... We need to understand how to provide better drug treatment services for criminal justice offenders to alter their drug use and criminal behavior. - Dr. Nora Volkow, Director of NIDA. CJ-DATS PHASE I In 2002, NIDA launched the National Criminal Justice����������Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS). CJ-DATS is a multisite research program aimed at improving the treatment of offenders with drug use disorders and integrating criminal justice and public health responses to drug involved offenders. From 2002 through 2008, CJ-DATS researchers from 9 research centers, a coordinating center, and NIDA worked together with federal, state, and local criminal justice partners to develop and test integrated approaches to the treatment of offenders with drug use disorders. The areas that were studied included: * Assessing Offender Problems * Measuring Progress in Treatment and Recovery * Linking Criminal Justice and Drug Abuse Treatment * Adolescent Interventions * HIV and Hepatitis Risk Reduction * Understanding Systems CJ-DATS PHASE II In 2008, CJ-DATS began to focus on the problems of implementing research-based practices drug treatment practices. This research concerns the organizational and systems processes involved in implementing valid, evidence-based practices to reduce drug use and drug-related recidivism for individuals in the criminal justice system. 12 CJ-DATS Research Centers are conducting implementation research in three primary domains: * Research to improve the implementation of evidence-based assessment processes for offenders with drug problems * Implementing effective treatment for drug-involved offenders * Implementing evidence-based interventions to improve an HIV continuum-of-care for offenders

http://www.zfishbook.org/NGP/journalcontent/SCORE/SCORE.html

Narrative resource describing a visual data analysis and collection approach that takes advantage of the cylindrical nature of the zebrafish allowing for an efficient and effective method for image capture called, Specimen in a Corrected Optical Rotational Enclosure (SCORE) Imaging. To achieve a non-distorted image, zebrafish were placed in a fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) tube with a surrounding, optically corrected imaging solution: water. By similarly matching the refractive index of the housing (FEP tubing) to that of the inner liquid and outer liquid (water), distortion was markedly reduced, producing a crisp imagable specimen that is able to be fully rotated 360 degrees. A similar procedure was established for fixed zebrafish embryos using convenient, readily available borosilicate capillaries surrounded by 75% glycerol. The method described could be applied to chemical genetic screening and other, related high-throughput methods within the fish community and among other scientific fields.

http://mialab.mrn.org/data/index.html

An MRI data set that demonstrates the utility of a mega-analytic approach by identifying the effects of age and gender on the resting-state networks (RSNs) of 603 healthy adolescents and adults (mean age: 23.4 years, range: 12-71 years). Data were collected on the same scanner, preprocessed using an automated analysis pipeline based in SPM, and studied using group independent component analysis. RSNs were identified and evaluated in terms of three primary outcome measures: time course spectral power, spatial map intensity, and functional network connectivity. Results revealed robust effects of age on all three outcome measures, largely indicating decreases in network coherence and connectivity with increasing age. Gender effects were of smaller magnitude but suggested stronger intra-network connectivity in females and more inter-network connectivity in males, particularly with regard to sensorimotor networks. These findings, along with the analysis approach and statistical framework described, provide a useful baseline for future investigations of brain networks in health and disease.

http://pingstudy.ucsd.edu/

A large multi-site pediatric MRI and genetics data resource to facilitate studies of the genomic landscape of the developing human brain. It includes information about the developing mental and emotional functions of the children to understand the genetic basis of individual differences in brain structure and connectivity, cognition, and personality. Investigators on the project are studying 1400 children between the ages of 3 and 20 years so that links between genetic variation and developing patterns of brain connectivity can be examined. Investigators interested in the effects of a particular gene will be able to search the database for any brain areas or connections between areas that differ as a function of variation in a particular gene, and also to determine if the genes appear to affect the course of brain development at some point during childhood. A data exploration tool has been created for mapping and analyzing MRI data sets collected for PING and related developmental studies. Approved investigators will be able to view raw image sets and derived 3D brain maps of MRI and DTI data, conduct hypothesis testing, and graph brain area measures as they change across the time course of development. PING Cores * Coordinating Core: Functions include project management, screening of participants and maintaining the database * Neuroimaging Core: applying a standardized high-resolution structural MRI protocol involving 3-D T1-weighted scans, a T2-weighted volume, and a set of diffusion-weighted scans with multiple b values and diffusion directions, scans to estimate MRI relaxation rates, and gradient echo EPI scans for resting state fMRI. Importantly, adaptive motion compensation, using ����??PROMO����??, a novel real-time motion correction algorithm will be used. Specific PING protocols for each scanner manufacturer: ** PING MRI Protocol - GE ** PING MRI Protocol - Philips ** PING MRI Protocol - Siemens * Assessment Core: Cognitive assessments for the PING project are conducted using the NIH Toolbox for Cognition. * Genomics Core: functions as a central repository for receipt of saliva samples collected for each study participant. Once received, samples are catalogued, maintained, and DNA is extracted using state-of-the-field laboratory techniques. Ultimately, genome-wide genotyping is performed on the extracted DNA using the Illumina Human660W-Quad BeadChip. PING involves 10 sites throughout the country including UCSD, University of Hawaii, Scripps Genomics, UCLA, UC Davis, Kennedy Krieger Institute/Johns Hopkins, Sacker Institute/Cornell University, University of Massachusetts, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard, and Yale. Families who may want to participate in the study, or others who want to know more about it, may email questions to ping (at) ucsd.edu.

http://compbio.uthsc.edu/miRSNP/

Database of naturally occurring DNA variations in microRNA (miRNA) seed regions and miRNA target sites. MicroRNAs pair to the transcripts of protein-coding genes and cause translational repression or mRNA destabilization. SNPs and INDELs in miRNAs and their target sites may affect miRNA-mRNA interaction, and hence affect miRNA-mediated gene repression. The PolymiRTS database was created by scanning 3'UTRs of mRNAs in human and mouse for SNPs and INDELs in miRNA target sites. Then, the potential downstream effects of these polymorphisms on gene expression and higher-order phenotypes are identified. Specifically, genes containing PolymiRTSs, cis-acting expression QTLs, and physiological QTLs in mouse and the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of human traits and diseases are linked in the database. The PolymiRTS database also includes polymorphisms in target sites that have been supported by a variety of experimental methods and polymorphisms in miRNA seed regions.

CAMO (Cell Adhesion Molecule Ontology) is a set of standard vocabulary that provide a hierarchical description of cell adhesion molecules and their functions. We compiled a list for cell adhesion molecules by integrating Gene Ontology annotations, domain structure information, and keywords query against NCBI Entrez Gene annotations. Totally 496 unique human genes were identified to function as cell adhesion molecules, which is by far the most comprehensive dataset including cadherin, immunoglobulin/FNIII, integrin, neurexin, neuroligan, and catenin families. CAMO was constructed as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) using DAG-Edit to input, manage and update data. We annotated each term with name, definition and source references, as well as the relationship to other terms, based on manual reviews of domain architecture and functional annotations. If vertices represent terms and the relationships between terms are represented by edges, the terms in a DAG can be connected via a directed graph without cycles. CAMO thus provides a hierarchical description of functions of CAMs with five top-level categories: CAM gene families, CAM genetics, CAM regulation, CAM expression and CAM diseases. Each top-level term is further divided into several categories to describe the functions in detail.

Produce new neurological mouse models that could serve as experimental models for the exploration of basic neurobiological mechanisms and diseases. The impetus for the program resulted from the recognition that: * The value of genomic data would remain limited unless more information about the functionality of its individual components became available. * The task of linking genes to specific behavior would best be accomplished by employing a combination of different approaches. In an effort to complement already existing programs, the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility decided to use: a random, genome-wide approach to mutagenesis, i.e.N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) as the mutagen; a three-generation back-cross breeding scheme to focus on the detection of recessive mutations; behavioral screens selective for the detection of phenotypes deemed useful for the program goals. The resulting mutant mouse lines have been available to the scientific community for the last five years and over 700 NMF mice have been sent to interested investigators for research; these mutant mouse lines will remain available as frozen embryos (which can be re-derived on request) and can be ordered through the JAX customer service at 1-800-422-6423 (or 207-288-5845). The results of the work of the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility and that of two other neurogenesis centers, i.e. The Neurogenomics Project at Northwestern University, and the Neuromutagenesis Project of the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium, can also be seen at Neuromice.org, a common web site of these three research centers; in addition, information about all mutants produced by these groups has been recorded in MGI.

A physiologic and molecular look at drug addiction involving many factors including: basic neurobiology, a scientific examination of drug action in the brain, the role of genetics in addiction, and ethical considerations. Designed to be used by students, teachers and members of the public, the materials meet selected US education standards for science and health. Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by changes in the brain which result in a compulsive desire to use a drug. A combination of many factors including genetics, environment and behavior influence a person's addiction risk, making it an incredibly complicated disease. The new science of addiction considers all of these factors - from biology to family - to unravel the complexities of the addicted brain. * Natural Reward Pathways Exist in the Brain: The reward pathway is responsible for driving our feelings of motivation, reward and behavior. * Drugs Alter the Brain's Reward Pathway: Drugs work over time to change the reward pathway and affect the entire brain, resulting in addiction. * Genetics Is An Important Factor In Addiction: Genetic susceptibility to addiction is the result of the interaction of many genes. * Timing and Circumstances Influence Addiction: If you use drugs when you are an adolescent, you are more likely to develop lifetime addiction. An individual's social environment also influences addiction risk. * Challenges and Issues in Addiction: Addiction impacts society with many ethical, legal and social issues.
