The Brain Trauma Foundation (BTF) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving the outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients worldwide by developing best practices guidelines, quality improvement programs, conducting clinical research, and educating medical professionals and consumers. Our efforts also focus on public education aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the symptoms of a concussion. Our goal is to better educate coaches, nurses, athletes, parents and all citizens about the importance of recognizing concussions and taking the appropriate steps to ensure people receive appropriate care. Also by educating healthcare professionals on the immediate care for coma patients, we estimate that thousands of lives could be saved each year in the U.S., millions worldwide, and more would be spared life-long disabilities. Research has proven that all brain damage does not occur at the moment of impact but rather evolves over the ensuing hours and days after the initial injury, due to brain swelling and inadequate oxygen and blood flow to the injured brain. In most cases, this secondary damage can be controlled by applying scientific, evidence-based diagnostic and treatment Guidelines, which BTF has developed with medical organizations and physicians with expertise in TBI. BTF offers updated continuing education activities for all levels of health care professionals caring for TBI patients. The online activities include recorded presentations, live web-based lectures, and interactive learning modules based on the latest scientific-evidence. Also available on the BTF Learning Portal is an online version of the EMS course developed in coordination with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Brain Trauma Foundation leads the way in cutting-edge clinical research on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Improving diagnosis and treatment of TBI requires a focus on clinical research. Our mission is to improve the outcome of TBI patients worldwide. BTF's research spans the spectrum from concussion to coma. BTF is conducting innovative research into the cause diagnosis of concussion. Also, BTF develops Best TBI Practice Guidelines, which when followed can significantly improve a patient's outcome. The Foundation is currently conducting studies and leading consortiums of investigators from multiple universities and disciplines in many TBI research areas that will have immediate impact on patient outcomes.

Interactive, informative and educational community platform dedicated to cognitive science or the multidisciplinary exploration of the mind. This online platform, will help gather and link information providing a thorough and reliable source of information for students and professionals in the field, as well as help bridge the gap between academia and the society. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of cognitive science, the work is becoming increasingly specialized. Therefore to keep an eye on the bigger picture, it seems necessary to bring the discoveries of various disciplines together in one place, look at their similarities and differences and discuss them for future directions.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on July 31,2025. We have collected DNA for more than 15 years, and today we have DNA from more than 1,800 Danish MS patients and 1,200 controls, all kept in the Danish Multiple Sclerosis Biobank in DMSC. In order to increase the sample size for genetic testing, we have participated in the Nordic MS Genetic Network since 1994, and today the Nordic material consists of more than 6,000 MS cases and 6,000 controls. The research in DMSC is focused on the candidate gene approaches and the genetic influence on the differences in treatment response. We are part of the IMSGC (International Multiple Sclerosis Genetic Consortium) and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC), where 23 research groups from 15 countries are performing the largest set of MS genome-wide association study (GWAS), genotyping 11,000 cases and 11,000 controls using 500,000 SNP chip. Primary results have elucidated associations to more than 100 gene variations (SNPs). Following this collaboration we are joining the Immunochip Consortium, where 1,000 Danish cases and 1,000 Danish controls participate in a large scale genetic analysis, investigating best genes/regions/SNPs in MS together with other international MS research groups and 9 other autoimmune diseases research groups, looking for shared autoimmune genes. The risk of MS has been increasing over the last 50 years, especially among women older than 40 years. On this background we have initiated a project looking at aspects of gender differences, including different treatment responses. Furthermore, we have initiated a large-scale vitamin D project, investigating gene variations within the vitamin D pathway, and the importance of vitamin D in clinical and immunological disease activity. In addition, we have collected more than 800 questionnaires from MS patients dealing in detail with lifestyle and environmental exposure for a project studying gene-environmental interactions.
