This is a data resource of recordings of spike activity from about 5000 neurons along the auditory pathway from the cochlear nuclei to the neocortex, cerebellum, and elsewhere. There is also an analysis program that averages histograms of spike activity and concurrent electromyographic (EMG) activity obtained from the orbicularis oculi (eyeblink) and levator oris (nose twitch) muscles. No search interface; distribution consists of a collection of Microsoft Office and Windows executable files. Each recording contains the response to a 70 dB click* (produced by applying a 1 ms rectangular pulse to a loudspeaker) before or after conditioning blink responses to the click as a CS. A discriminative acoustic stimulus, a 70 dB hiss DS, was also presented at a time apart from the click. There are guides to the regions from which each recording was made and to the associated behavioral states as well as a tutorial on how to use the analysis program. There is an appendix listing the data format. Sufficient indexes and examples are available here to understand the data. The data can be downloaded (voluminous) or borrowed on CD (5) from the UCLA Biomedical Library and copied.

Repository of peer reviews of antibodies to help scientists find the right tools fast. Researchers from schools including Stanford, Harvard, John Hopkins have contributed reviews of over 1500 antibodies. Most of these reviews contain experimental details that are hard to find in publications and yet crucial for the success of antibody usage. In addition, scientists are enabled to connect through knowledge of expertise, as members are required to use their real names and lab affiliations. BenchWise is currently open to a select list of leading research institutes and is completely free. Scientists waste over 100 hours a year on either bad antibodies or finding out the right antibody usage condition, despite the fact that someone, somewhere likely has already done the same. They want to solve this problem by enabling scientists to share their product usage knowledge. Antibody records that are documented in spreadsheets are also accepted and will be parsed into individual reviews and uploaded to save you time.

Database of key terminology, classification and coding standards, and associated resources to promote creation of more effective and interoperable biomedical information systems and services, including electronic health records. This set of files and software brings together many health and biomedical vocabularies and standards to enable interoperability between computer systems. Users can use the UMLS to enhance or develop applications, such as electronic health records, classification tools, dictionaries and language translators. The UMLS has three tools, which we call the Knowledge Sources: * Metathesaurus: Terms and codes from many vocabularies, including CPT, ICD-10-CM, LOINC, MeSH, RxNorm, and SNOMED CT * Semantic Network: Broad categories (semantic types) and their relationships (semantic relations) * SPECIALIST Lexicon and Lexical Tools: Natural language processing tools We use the Semantic Network and Lexical Tools to produce the Metathesaurus. Metathesaurus production involves: * Processing the terms and codes using the Lexical Tools * Grouping synonymous terms into concepts * Categorizing concepts by semantic types from the Semantic Network * Incorporating relationships and attributes provided by vocabularies * Releasing the data in a common format Although we integrate these tools for Metathesaurus production, you can access them separately or in any combination according to your needs. The UMLS Terminology Services (UTS) provides three ways to access the UMLS: Web Browsers, Local Installation, and Web Services APIs.

Databases and portal to data and ordering mouse strains from MRC Harwell including mouse stocks in FESA (Frozen Embryo and Sperm Archive), mutants from the mutagenesis screen, the ENU DNA archive, standardized phenotyping procedures, imprinting genes and chromosome anomalies. The portal integrates curated information from the MRC Harwell stock resource, and other Harwell databases, with information from external data resources to provide added value information above and beyond what is available through other routes such as IMSR (International Mouse Stain Resource). MouseBook can be searched either using an intuitive Google-style free text search or using the Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MP) tree structure. Text searches can be on gene, allele, strain identifier (e.g. MGI ID) or phenotype term and are assisted by automatic recognition of term types and autocompletion of gene and allele names covered by the database. Results are returned in a tabbed format providing categorized results identified from each of the catalogs in MouseBook. Individual results lines from each catalog include information on gene, allele, chromosomal location and phenotype and provide a simple click-through link to further information as well as ordering the strain. The infrastructure underlying MouseBook has been designed to be extensible, allowing additional data sources to be added enabling other sites to make their data directly available through MouseBook.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. Project to advance understanding of the neural mechanisms of vocal learning by providing a quantitative description of the relationship between physiological variables and vocal performance over the course of development in a songbird, the zebra finch. They propose to study vocal learning dynamically across neuronal and peripheral subsystems, using a novel collaborative approach that will harness the combined expertise of several investigators. Their proposed research model will 1) provide simultaneous measurements of acoustic, articulatory and electrophysiological data that will document the detailed dynamics of the vocal imitation process in a standardized learning paradigm; and 2) incorporate these measurements into a theoretical/computational framework that simultaneously provides a phenomenological description and attempts to elucidate the mechanistic basis of the learning process.

Data set of a follow-up study (one of four Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly - EPESE) that obtains information on four primary outcome variables (cognitive status, depression, functional status, and mortality) and four primary independent variables (social support, social class, social location, and chronic illness); and examines the relationships between social factors and chronic disease on the one hand and health outcomes on the other. This data set complements the other three sites providing a population which is both urban and rural and contains approximately equal numbers of black and white participants across a broad socioeconomic base. The Duke site was originally funded by the NIA Epidemiology, Demography and Biometry Program (EDBP) to complete seven waves of data collection (three in-person and four telephone interviews) in order to examine the health of a sample of 4,162 persons aged 65+, and factors that influence their health and use of health services. The cohort was originally interviewed in 1986/87 and followed annually for 6 years thereafter. The study design consisted of a random stratified household sample with an over-sampling of blacks. Questionnaire topics include the following: Demographics, Alcohol Use, Independence, Health condition, Cognition, Personal mastery, Health Service Utilization, Activity of daily living, Social Support, Hearing and Vision, Incontinence, Social Interaction, Weight and Height, Smoking, Religion, Nutrition, Life Satisfaction, Self Esteem, Sleep, Medications, Economic Status, Depression, Life Changes, Blood pressure. National Death Index files have been searched and death certificates obtained for the members of this study. Sample members have been matched with Medicare Part A files to obtain information on hospitalizations, and will be matched on Medicare Part B (outpatient) files. Data from the first wave of the survey is in the public domain and can be obtained from NACDA or from the National Archives, Center for Electronic Records in Washington, DC. * Dates of Study: 1996-1997 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Oversampling * Sample Size: 1986-1988: 4,162 Links: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/02744 * National Archives: http://www.archives.gov/research/electronic-records/
