A 3D stereoscopic (anaglyph method) full brain functional connectivity atlas created using a parcellation atlas published by Craddock et al. (2012). Using 3D Slicer 3.6.3 and the two hundred Region of Interest (ROI) version of the Craddock atlas, 200 grayscale surface models were created using a z-stat threshold > 2.3, and each surface model was processed with a surface decimation algorithm, smoothed with the Taubin algorithm and without surface normals. For improved visualization of the functional connectivity networks and their relative anatomical position, the surface model of five subcortical anatomical structures (corpus callosum, bilateral caudate, pallidum, putamen, thalamus, amygdala and hippocampus) were included in SAIBN. These surfaces were created with 3D Slicer using the segmentation computed with Freesurfer v. 5.1. The viewer should use red-cyan glasses to see the 3D stereoscopic effect using 3D Slicer (version 3.6.3, http://www.slicer.org/pages/Special:SlicerDownloads).

A computer-aided tool for 2-D brain image segmentation using an electrostatic charged fluid model. It allows researchers to perform 2-D image segmentation in brain MR image data. Each interactive visualization element corresponding to the embedded function enables the end user to easily manipulate the image data. The visual environment of this tool provides an easy-to-use means of inspection and interpretation of image data using the LONI jViewbox library. CFMBIS uses the Java Image I/O plug-in architecture to read a wide variety of common medical image file formats.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on June 6,2023. EMMA (Extensible MATLAB Medical image Analysis) is a toolkit designed to ease the use of MATLAB in the analysis of medical imaging data. It provides functions for reading and writing MINC files, viewing images, performing ROI operations, and performing several popular analyses. Also, there are toolkits for performing kinetic analysis of dynamic PET rCBF (regional cerebral blood flow) and FDG data. The goal for this site is to provide a centrally available listing of all image analysis tools that are available to the neuroscience community in order to facilitate the development, identification, and sharing of tools that are of use to the general community.

Consortium to conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genes associated with an increased risk of developing late-onset Alzheimer''''s disease (LOAD). The goal of the ADGC is to identify genetic variants associated with risk for AD. It plans to do this through the following collaborative goals: # Identify genes responsible for AD susceptibility # Identify AD sub-phenotype genes rate-of-progression plaque / tangle load / distribution biomarker variability # Generate a genetic data resource for the AD research community Data generated by ADGC is available at the following website: https://www.niagads.org/content/alzheimers-disease-genetics-consortium-adgc-collection

The European Network for Genetic and Genomic Epidemiology (ENGAGE) consortium aims to translate data emerging from large-scale research efforts in molecular epidemiology into information of direct relevance to future advances in clinical medicine. The ENGAGE consortium will integrate and analyze one of the largest ever human genetics dataset (more than 80,000 genome-wide association scans and DNAs and serum/plasma samples from over 600,000 individuals). One goal is to demonstrate that the findings from ENGAGE can be used as diagnostic indicators for common diseases that will help us to understand better risk factors, disease progression and why people differ in responses to treatment.

Platform-independent, technology-independent software tool for identifying SNPs and indels in massively parallel sequencing of individual and pooled samples. Given data for a single sample, VarScan identifies and filters germline variants based on read counts, base quality, and allele frequency. Given data for a tumor-normal pair, VarScan also determines the somatic status of each variant (Germline, Somatic, or LOH) by comparing read counts between samples.

An award-winning multimedia science and environment series created by KQED, San Francisco, the public media station serving Northern California. Launched in February 2007, by the end of its fourth season (in September 2010), QUEST had reached approximately 36 million viewers and listeners through its traditional TV and radio broadcasts and its growing Web audience. QUEST''s ultimate aim is to raise science literacy in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, inspiring audiences to discover and explore science and environment issues for themselves. Every season, KQED''s QUEST produces: * half-hour television episodes episodes that air weekly, exploring the cutting-edge work of Northern California scientists and researchers (QUEST airs Wednesdays 7:30pm on KQED Public Television 9); * weekly radio reports covering urban environmental issues which often include multimedia slide shows, and interactive online maps (QUEST airs Mondays 6:30am and 8:30am on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM); * Educational resources, for use by formal and informal educators; QUEST also provides professional development for science educators to support multimedia and technology integration in science classrooms and programs; * 20 six-minute stories for its new web only series, Science on the SPOT, which takes a fresh, fast and curious look at science with stories about albino redwoods, the science of fog and banana slugs, to name a few. (launched in 2010); * A daily science blog written by Northern California scientists, QUEST producers and science enthusiasts; * Exclusive web extras, featuring extended interviews with scientists; Flickr photos, and science hikes.

MicrobesOnline is designed specifically to facilitate comparative studies on prokaryotic genomes. It is an entry point for operon, regulons, cis-regulatory and network predictions based on comparative analysis of genomes. The portal includes over 1000 complete genomes of bacteria, archaea and fungi and thousands of expression microarrays from diverse organisms ranging from model organisms such as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae to environmental microbes such as Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Shewanella oneidensis. To assist in annotating genes and in reconstructing their evolutionary history, MicrobesOnline includes a comparative genome browser based on phylogenetic trees for every gene family as well as a species tree. To identify co-regulated genes, MicrobesOnline can search for genes based on their expression profile, and provides tools for identifying regulatory motifs and seeing if they are conserved. MicrobesOnline also includes fast phylogenetic profile searches, comparative views of metabolic pathways, operon predictions, a workbench for sequence analysis and integration with RegTransBase and other microbial genome resources. The next update of MicrobesOnline will contain significant new functionality, including comparative analysis of metagenomic sequence data. Programmatic access to the database, along with source code and documentation, is available at http://microbesonline.org/programmers.html.

Software tool as platform independent data interface and database for neuroscience physiology and imaging experiments. Platform independent standard that allows analyst to use and create software that functions independently from format of raw data or manner in which data are organized into files. Interface is rooted in simple vocabulary that describes common apparatus and storage devices used in neuroscience experiments. Results of analyses, and analyses of analyses, are stored as documents in scalable, queryable database that stores relationships and history among experiment elements and documents. Interface allows development of application ecosystem where applications can focus on calculation rather than data format or organization. This tool can be used by individual labs to exchange and analyze data, and it can serve to curate neuroscience data for searchable archives.
