The Centre d''Etude du Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH) is a research laboratory, the main activities of which are the setting up, storage, processing and distribution of DNA collections for the identification of genetic factors conferring susceptibility to complex disorders. These collections are established in partnership and full collaboration with external French or international research groups. The Foundation currently hosts the CEPH reference panel, the HGDP panel (Human genome Diversity Cell Line Panel) and several collections amounting mid-2008 to more than 250 000 samples. The goal of CEPH is to understand complex multifactorial disorders necessitates the establishment of structures facilitating access to large and integrated collection of individuals, characterized by a large number of variables emanating from different technologies and platforms. To achieve this goal, CEPH facilitates the setting up of integrated analyses combining clinical, genetic and environmental data, for the identification of susceptibility factors to complex multifactorial disorders Additionally, CEHP allows the reception, storage, processing and distribution of biological sample collections. At the same time, it promotes and participates in the design and setting up of genetic studies: - in partnership and full collaboration with external research groups - giving access to a large number of variables - in a sufficient number of subjects - allowing large scale integrated analyses

Cellular Open Resource is a Microsoft Windows environment for cellular modeling that is built around CellML (except for reactions and metadata which are not supported). It offers, through CellML, an ''out of the box'' access to a large database of single cell models. COR was among the early adopters of this standard, eventually forming the first publicly available CellML-based modeling and collaboration environment. From the onset, COR was designed to provide an environment that could not only be used by experienced modelers, but also by experimentalists, teachers and students. It therefore tries to combine a user-friendly interface with a computationally efficient numerical engine. In this paper, we introduce the philosophy behind COR, explain its user interface and current functionality, including the editing and running of CellML files, highlight lessons learned from user feedback and problems experienced during the development of COR and conclude by exploring future development potential. Sponsors: This study has been supported by a grant from the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BB/E024955/1).

Lab interested in understanding how neuronal circuitries of the brain support its cognitive capacities. Its goal is to provide rational, mechanistic explanations of cognitive functions at a descriptive level. In the lab''s view, the most promising area of cognitive faculties for scientific inquiry is memory, since it is a well-circumscribed term, can be studied in animals and substantial knowledge has accumulated on the molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. Available software: * NeuroScope: NeuroScope can display local field potentials (EEG), neuronal spikes, behavioral events, as well as the position of the animal in the environment. It also features limited editing capabilities. * Klusters: Klusters is a powerful and easy-to-use cluster cutting application designed to help neurophysiologists sort action potentials from multiple neurons on groups of electrodes (e.g., tetrodes or multisite silicon probes). * KlustaKwik: KlustaKwik is a program for automatic cluster analysis, specifically designed to run fast on large data sets. * MATLAB m-files: A selection of MATLAB files developed in the lab., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Harvester is a Web-based tool that bulk-collects bioinformatic data on human proteins from various databases and prediction servers. It is a meta search engine for gene and protein information. It searches 16 major databases and prediction servers and combines the results on pregenerated HTML pages. In this way Harvester can provide comprehensive gene-protein information from different servers in a convenient and fast manner. As full text meta search engine, similar to Google trade mark, Harvester allows screening of the whole genome proteome for current protein functions and predictions in a few seconds. With Harvester it is now possible to compare and check the quality of different database entries and prediction algorithms on a single page.

The Institute of Medical Psychology and Behavioral Neurobiology in Germany is an institutional portal established at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Tbingen in 1993. With the assignment of the chair for Medical Psychology and Medical Sociology to Professor Birbaumer the educational task became the instruction of medical students in Medical Psychology and Medical Sociology. Christoph-Dornier-Center of Clinical Psychology at the University of Tobingen Medical Faculty In March 2001, a new institute of the Christoph Dornier Foundation was opened under the direction of Prof. Niels Birbaumer. The aim of this institute is to advance research in behavioral neurobiology and behavioral medicine. The results of the research should be directly translated into treatments. The emphasis in Tbingen is on the treatment of chronic pain and intractable epilepsy, using a combination of biofeedback training and behavioral therapy. Even though a positive effect of biofeedback has been proven in many controlled studies, the method is still far from being accepted in everyday clinical practice. The outpatient department in Tbingen intends to enable access to this treatment to a wider population of patients. Magnetoencephalography(MEG)-Center The MEG-Center (established 1997) is a central research facility at the University of Tbingen. The Center is operated by the Institute of medical psychology and behavioural Neurobiology and hosts a whole-head 151-channel system built by VSMMedtech (www.vsmmedtech.com). In early 2006 in addition to the wholehead MEG an additional special purpose MEG system will be installed in Tbingen (funded by the DFG and Land Baden Wrttemberg). This MEG is dedicated to the investigation of fetal brain signals in utero (fMEG) . The fMEG will be installed at the University Woman Clinic and operated by the staff of the MEG center. This is the first dedicated fMEG system in Europe. Some content on the website is only in German.
