The UW Integrated Brain Project is one project within the national Human Brain Project, a national multi-agency effort to develop informatics tools for managing the exploding amount of information that is accumulating about the human brain. The objective of the UW Integrated Brain Project effort is to organize and integrate distributed functional information about the brain around the structural information framework that is the long term goal of our work. This application therefore extends the utility of the Digital Anatomist Project by using it to organize non-structural information. The initial driving neuroscience problem that is being addressed is the management, visualization and analysis of cortical language mapping data. In recent years, advances in imaging technology such as PET and functional MRI have allowed researchers to observe areas of the cortex that are activated when the subject performs language tasks. These advances have greatly accelerated the amount of data available about human language, but have also emphasized the need to organize and integrate the sometimes contradictory sources of data, in order to develop theories about language organization. The hypothesis is that neuroanatomy is the common substrate on which the diverse kinds of data can be integrated. A result of the work done by this project is a set of software tools for generating a 3-D reconstruction of the patient''s own brain from MRI, for mapping functional data to this reconstruction, for normalizing individual anatomy by warping to a canonical brain atlas and by annotating data with terms from an anatomy ontology, for managing individual lab data in local laboratory information systems, for integrating and querying data across separate data management systems, and for visualizing the integrated results. Sponsors: This Human Brain Project research is funded jointly by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Institute on Aging.

http://mmil.ucsd.edu/

An interdisciplinary group of scientists and clinicians who study the human brain using a variety of imaging, recording, and computational techniques. Their primary goal is to bridge non-invasive imaging technologies to the underlying neurophysiology of brain neuronal circuits for a better understanding of healthy human brain function, and mechanisms of disruption of this function in diseases such as Alzheimer's, epilepsy and stroke. The other goal of the MMIL is to develop and apply advanced imaging techniques to understanding the human brain and its disorders. In order to ground these methodological developments in their underlying neurobiology, invasive studies in humans and animals involving optical and micro physiological measures are also performed. These methodologies are applied to understanding normal function in sleep, memory and language, development and aging, and diseases such as dementia, epilepsy and autism.

MRIcro allows Windows and Linux computers view medical images. It is a standalone program, but includes tools to complement SPM (software that allows neuroimagers to analyze MRI, fMRI and PET images). MRIcro allows efficient viewing and exporting of brain images. In addition, it allows neuropsychologists to identify regions of interest (ROIs, e.g. lesions). MRIcro can create Analyze format headers for exporting brain images to other platforms. Some features of MRIcro are: - Converts medical images to SPM friendly Analyze format. - View Analyze format images (big or little endian). - Create Analyze format headers (big or little endian). - Create 3D regions of interest (with computed volume & intensity). - Overlap multiple regions of interest. - Rotate images to match SPM template images. - Export images to BMP, JPEG, PNG or TIF format. - Yoked images: linked viewing of multiple images (e.g. view same coordinates of PET and MRI scans). Users familiar with other Windows programs will find that this software is fairly straightforward to use. Resting the mouse cursor over a button will cause a text hint to appear over the button. However, a tutorial with a step by step guide of how to use MRIcro with SPM is available.
