The mission of the Association for Neuroscience Departments and Programs is to advance education and research training in academic neuroscience. We serve member programs and their trainees by maintaining a searchable directory of neuroscience training programs in North America and around the globe. An important goal for the ANDP is disseminate information about neuroscience education and training, and this is achieved through Fall and Spring meetings as well as electronic resource development. We perform a biannual survey of neuroscience education and training that provides key information on current trends in trainees, faculty and programs. Outstanding neuroscience educators are recognized with an annual ANDP award. Active ANDP members create an advocacy group for neuroscience that informs policy makers about neuroscience research and workforce needs. We work to be the stewards of the discipline..

An academic genealogy platform that collects information about graduate students and posdoctoral research connections. The Neuroscience Academic Family Tree is a free, volunteer-run website designed to help you track your academic genealogy. Our goal is to collect information about the graduate student and postdoctoral connections between most researchers in the field. :How do I navigate the tree? :There are several ways to wander around Neurotree. The basics are summed up in the commands at the top of each page: :* Tree - Jump to a random node on the tree :* Search - Search for a specific person or people at a specific institution :* Recent additions - List the most recent additions :* Distance - Trace the connection between two people in the tree :* Add person - Add a new person to the tree (and be a good citizen!). You must sign up for an account to make additions. :* Analysis - Learn more amazing facts about neurogenealogy! ... and possibly something about the field of neuroscience.

Software that automates the creation of uniform, two-dimensional, high analysis graphical images/models of alpha-helical or beta-barrel transmembrane proteins. Protein sequence data and structural information may be acquired from public protein knowledge bases, emanate from prediction algorithms, or even be defined by the user. Several important biological and physical sequence attributes can be embedded in the graphical representation. The application has been written using the platform independent Java language by Sun Microsystems. The implementation is likely to encapsulate the Applet and JavaBean technology. Consequently, the tool, apart from standalone application, may be used as an applet or even embedded in a web-server. Thus, it can serve to exhibit transmembrane protein schematic models in web pages. Requirements for the stand-alone application: Java Runtime Environment 1.4.x The source code is available to any interested party, upon request from the authors.

Database of physiological, pharmacological, and pathological information on humans and other organisms and integration through computational modeling. Models include everything from diagrammatic schema, suggesting relationships among elements composing a system, to fully quantitative, computational models describing the behavior of physiological systems and an organism''s response to environmental change. Each mathematical model is an internally self-consistent summary of available information, and thereby defines a working hypothesis about how a system operates. Predictions from such models are subject to test, with new results leading to new models.BR /> A Tool developed for the NSR Physiome project is JSim, an open source, free software. JSim is a Java-based simulation system for building quantitative numeric models and analyzing them with respect to experimental reference data. JSim''s primary focus is in physiology and biomedicine, however its computational engine is quite general and applicable to a wide range of scientific domains. JSim models may intermix ODEs, PDEs, implicit equations, integrals, summations, discrete events and procedural code as appropriate. JSim''s model compiler can automatically insert conversion factors for compatible physical units as well as detect and reject unit unbalanced equations. JSim also imports the SBML and CellML model archival formats. All JSim models are open source. Goals of the Physiome Project: - To develop and database observations of physiological phenomenon and interpret these in terms of mechanism (a fundamentally reductionist goal). - To integrate experimental information into quantitative descriptions of the functioning of humans and other organisms (modern integrative biology glued together via modeling). - To disseminate experimental data and integrative models for teaching and research. - To foster collaboration amongst investigators worldwide, to speed up the discovery of how biological systems work. - To determine the most effective targets (molecules or systems) for therapy, either pharmaceutic or genomic. - To provide information for the design of tissue-engineered, biocompatible implants.

TOPPCAT stands for T-One weighted Perfusion imaging Parameter CAlculation Toolkit. TOPPCAT creates quantitative maps of Ktrans (volume transfer constant between blood plasma and the extravascular extracellular space) and fPV (fractional plasma volume) from dynamic T1-weighted perfusion images. At the current time, analysis using the method of Patlak plots (most appropriate for first pass dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging) is supported. As a preliminary step for the parameter calculation, TOPPCAT also creates maps of T1 and S0 (equilibrium magnetization) from multi-flip angle T1-weighted SPGR (or FLASH) sequences.Daniel P. Barboriak, James R. MacFall, Anthony O. Padua,Gerald E. York, Benjamin L. Viglianti, and Mark W. Dewhirst. Standardized software for calculation of Ktrans and vp from dynamic T1-weighted MR images.

Over recent years, the European Commission has supported an increasing number of functional genomics projects focusing on the use of the laboratory mouse as a model of human disease. (see http://www.prime-eu.org/euromouseiiprojects.htm for a fuller listing of current and recent projects). CASIMIR (Coordination and Sustainability of International Mouse Informatics Resources: http://www.casimir.org.uk) is aimed at recommending standards to allow data sharing and integration between the different projects. CASIMIR spans a number of areas: data representation (in particular the use of shared ontologies), non-semantic, technical issues concerning database compatibility and interoperability, data acquisition, curation and ownership, integration of biological collections and material resources into the data network, and user interactions. As part of the CASIMIR initiative i-mouse.org was created as a common portal to CASIMIR and other resources we hope will be helpful for investigators using the mouse as a model system for humans or systems biologists and geneticists using the mouse as an experimental system. ontology; metadata;
