BrainEthics Resource Report Resource Website |
BrainEthics (RRID:SCR_005530) | BrainEthics | blog, book, data or information resource, narrative resource | There are a lot of fine blogs out there covering the avalance of current neuroscience research. With this blog Thomas Rams��y & Martin Skov want to highlight the many consequences of this growing understanding of the human brain. We are especially interested in two types of consequences: Tinkering with the brain and What is it like to be a human being? * Tinkering with the brain: First and foremost, with an understanding of how the brain works comes the possibility of tinkering with it. We already use billions of dollars every year on psychopharmocologia trying to treat depression, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other mental diseases. But should we also use our knowledge of the brain to treat undesirable mental traits such as pedophilia or sociopathy? And what about enhancing normal brains? Clearly, evolution hasn''t endowed us with the most efficient brain imaginable. Shouldn''t we do something about its many shortcomings? * What is it like to be a human being?: Secondly, our view of human behavior is sure to change with our improved understanding of the human brain. Our knowledge of core human faculties such as language, social reasoning, aesthetics, and economics is already being challenged by modern neuroscience, yielding multiple hard questions. Do we have a free will? Is the mind innate or plastic? If people are not responsible for their actions (since all actions are caused by blind molecular processes) does our legal system still make sense? In short, will modern neuroscience come to completely redefine human nature? We try to discuss contemporary research literature, not just news reports. Although we will occasionally also target popular science reports, since we believe they play an important role in dissemining lessons from the lab. And in the future we plan to also post interviews with interesting researchers, as well as link to our own publications in journals and books. Additionally, the latest and most important books in the multidisciplinary field of neuroscience, cognition, psychology, ethics and economics are presented. | brain, science, ethics, neuroethics, human, behavior | is parent organization of: BrainEthics Podcast | nlx_144626 | SCR_005530 | Brain Ethics, BrainEthics - Consequences of Brain Science | 2026-09-12 12:56:27 | 0 | ||||||||

CBRAIN (RRID:SCR_005513) | CBRAIN | analysis service resource, data analysis service, production service resource, service resource, software resource, storage service resource | A flexible software platform for distributed processing, analysis, exchange and visualization of brain imaging data. The expected result is a middleware platform that will render the processing environment (hardware, operating systems, storage servers, etc...) transparent to a remote user. Interaction with a standard web browser allows application of complex algorithm pipelines to large datasets stored at remote locations using a mixture of network available resources such as small clusters, neuroimaging tools and databases as well as Compute Canada's High Performance Computing Centers (HPC). Though the focus of CBRAIN is providing tools for use by brain imaging researchers, the platform is generalizable to other imaging domains, such as radiology, surgical planning and heart imaging, with profound consequences for Canadian medical research. CBRAIN expanded its concept to include international partners in the US, Germany and Korea. As of December 2010, GBRAIN has made significant progress with the original three partners and has developed new partners in Singapore, China, India, and Latin America. CBRAIN is currently deployed on 6 Compute Canada HPC clusters, one German HPC cluster and 3 clusters local to McGill University Campus, totaling more than 80,000 potential CPU cores. | brain, neuroimaging, imaging, middleware, platform, network, data sharing, web application, visualization |

Brain Basics Resource Report Resource Website |
Brain Basics (RRID:SCR_005606) | Brain Basics | data or information resource, narrative resource, training material, video resource | Brain Basics provides information on how the brain works, how mental illnesses are disorders of the brain, and ongoing research that helps us better understand and treat disorders. Mental disorders are common. You may have a friend, colleague, or relative with a mental disorder, or perhaps you have experienced one yourself at some point. Such disorders include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and many others. Some people who develop a mental illness may recover completely; others may have repeated episodes of illness with relatively stable periods in between. Still others live with symptoms of mental illness every day. They can be moderate, or serious and cause severe disability. Through research, we know that mental disorders are brain disorders. Evidence shows that they can be related to changes in the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the nervous system. When the brain cannot effectively coordinate the billions of cells in the body, the results can affect many aspects of life. Scientists are continually learning more about how the brain grows and works in healthy people, and how normal brain development and function can go awry, leading to mental illnesses. Brain Basics will introduce you to some of this science, such as: * How the brain develops * How genes and the environment affect the brain * The basic structure of the brain * How different parts of the brain communicate and work with each other * How changes in the brain can lead to mental disorders, such as depression. | brain, depression, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, depressive disorder, mental disease, gene, environment | has parent organization: NIMH Educational Resources | NIMH | nlx_146226 | SCR_005606 | NIMH Brain Basics | 2026-09-12 12:56:28 | 0 | |||||||

BrainStars (RRID:SCR_005810) | B* | data access protocol, data or information resource, database, software resource, web service | BrainStars (or B*) is a quantitative expression database of the adult mouse brain. The database has genome-wide expression profile at 51 adult mouse CNS regions. For 51 CNS regions, slices (0.5-mm thick) of mouse brain were cut on a Mouse Brain Matrix, frozen, and the specific regions were punched out bilaterally with a microdissecting needle (gauge 0.5 mm) under a stereomicroscope. For each region, we took samples every 4 hours, starting at ZT0 (Zeitgaber time 0; the time of lights on), for 24 hours (6 time-point samples for each region), and we pooled the samples from the different time points. We independently sampled each region twice (n=2). These samples were purified their RNA, and measured with Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. Expression values were then summarized with the RMA method. After several analysis with the expression data, the data and analysis results were stored in the BrainStars database. The database has a REST-like Web API interface for accessing from your Web applications.

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.

Autism Tissue Program (RRID:SCR_000651) | ATP | data or information resource, database, disease-related portal, funding resource, portal, topical portal | 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. | autism, brain, tissue, clinical data, post-mortem, brain tissue, donate, brain donation, autism spectrum disorder, pervasive development disorder, formalin fixation, snap frozen, tissue section, stained slide, dna, skin fibroblast culture, control, clinical, clinical neuroinformatics, imaging genomics, magnetic resonance, optical imaging, FASEB list |

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. | drug abuse, drug delivery, drug, drug of abuse, environmental risk factor, genetic factor, genetics, addiction, gene, treatment, brain, brain circuit, pathway, human, lesson plan, neuron, reward pathway, spanish, teacher, chronic disease | has parent organization: University of Utah Genetic Science Learning Center - Learn Genetics | Substance-Related Disorder | NIDA 1 R25 DA 15461 | Free | nif-0000-00430 | SCR_002770 | 2026-09-12 12:55:46 | 3 | ||||||

The central issues being addressed are how dendrites integrate synaptic signals in neurons, how networks of neurons generate dynamical patterns of activity, how sensory information is represented in the cerebral cortex, how memory representations are formed and consolidated during sleep, and how visuo-motor transformations are adaptively organized. Additionally, new techniques have been developed for modeling cell signaling using Monte Carlo methods (MCell) and the blind separation of brain imaging data into functionally independent components (ICA). | biophysical, brain, cell, cerebral cortex, computational, dendrite, laboratory, memory, model, neuron, signal, sleep, synaptic, transformation, visuo-motor | has parent organization: Salk Institute for Biological Studies | Free, Freely available | nif-0000-24693 | SCR_002809 | Computational Neurobiology Lab | 2026-09-12 12:55:46 | 7 | ||||||||
