I''m studying how the brain works on various levels; this blog chronicles some of my informal notes along the way. I previously went to Vassar College, majoring in Neuroscience and Behavior with a minor in Math. Now I work at a biology lab in Maryland. I appreciate any feedback that you may have, good or bad. You can email me at amckenz at g mail dot com. What I write on here is obviously my opinion. Everything on the site is filed under a Creative Commons License v. 3.0. That means that you can copy and re-publish this stuff anywhere without my permission. Thanks for reading. Essay titles include: * A Loss of Agency Following Use of ADHD Medications in College Aged Adults * An Evolutionary Account of the Environmentally Programmed Stress Response * Changes in protein structure of myelin sheaths throughout vertebrate evolution * Effect of Glucocorticoids on the Attenuation in Neurogenesis due to Sleep Deprivation * Insulin sensitivity and age-related memory changes due to caloric restriction * Is Neurogenesis in the Hippocampus Linked to Depression? * Novelty-Seeking and Associative Learning of Chemotaxis in C.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. The NIEHS Genetic Alterations in Cancer (GAC) knowledgebase is a comprehensive collection of data compiled from studies reported in the published literature on genetic alterations in tumors associated with exposure to specific chemical, physical, or biological agents that can be linked to genes implicated in the development of cancers. GAC provides access to data from peer reviewed journals for hundreds of studies of gene mutations, loss of heterozygosity, and/or chromosome changes in tumors from humans, mice, or rats. Results are summarized in tables and graphic profiles that show the incidence (percent) of tumors with alterations in each gene that has been studied. Detailed data tables display results for each subject studied in the cited reference and the reference ID is hyperlinked to its PubMed abstract for more information. A mutation spectrum for individual genes and links to gene information from The Cancer Genome Anatomy Project and the Rat Genome Database are also provided.

MTBBASE is a database about the physiology of the tuberculosis bacterium, in widely-used formats, and publicly accessible. Available already is MTB-GOA, paper-centric Gene Ontology (GO) annotations. Pathway data on reactome is in progress. This is a private effort because I am not affiliated with a university nor a company. Nevertheless, I am putting a constant part of the day into the work. The annotations were checked by the UniProt-GOA group at the EBI (after passing my own checks) and pathways are checked by a reactome editor. This work would not have been possible without NCBI''s Entrez service, the german national licence, UniProt, and tuberculist at epfl.ch.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE This is the website for a weekly social event called Dangerous Ideas, to promote more cross talk and cross pollination of ideas. There is a list of links to interesting new tools and technologies in the realm of computation and science. We'll be experimenting with webcasting this so others who can't physically join us can share in seeing what we think is cool. Its a completely open event-- anyone is welcome to join in, but should be prepared to present!

For computational modeling to become more widely used in biological research, researchers must be able to exchange and share their results. The development and broad acceptance of common model representation formats such as SBML is a crucial step in that direction, allowing researchers to exchange and build upon each other''s work with greater ease and accuracy. The BioModels.net project is another step: an international effort to: 1. define agreed-upon standards for model curation 2. define agreed-upon vocabularies for annotating models with connections to biological data resources 3. provide a free, centralized, publicly-accessible database of annotated, computational models in SBML and other structured formats To facilitate assembling useful collections of quantitative models of biological phenomena, it is crucial to establish standards for the vocabularies used in model annotations as well as criteria for minimum quality levels of those models. The BioModels.net project aims to bring together a community of interested researchers to address these issues. We are working towards defining these standards through white papers and process definitions. All of the products of our efforts are open and freely available through this site.

Swedish study to get a better understanding of how genes, environment and way of life affect health that will enable access to the longitudinal data on 500,000 participants after ethical approval. Half a million people in Sweden between the ages of 0 and 45 will be recruited as volunteers for 6 to 8 years. People between 18 and 45 will be invited and they may, in turn, bring children and other people that they live with into the project. Participants will be followed for many years with regular online surveys and health checks. Their blood and urine samples will also be stored in a biobank. All the data will form a very large information base, where researchers can follow what happens with people''''s health. The LifeGene test center will measure height, hip, waist and chest measurements. A so-called spirometry test will be conducted which measures lung function, a hearing test and bioimpedance measurement (includes weight, BMI and distribution of body fat and muscle mass). They also take blood and urine samples and measure blood pressure and pulse. LifeGene foresees a lot of different research cooperation. Everything from simple withdrawal of longitudinal data, leverage of LifeGene infrastructure and cooperation between LifeGene and complementing scientific projects covering specific areas in more depth. LifeGene will enable access to unique longitudinal data on 500,000 participants available for researchers after ethical approval. LifeGene is also an infrastructure with Test Centers covering most of Sweden, logistics for sample management from arm-to-freezer and state-of-the-art large scale automatic biobanking enabling low cost, high quality, fast withdrawal of biological samples.

Biorepository of tissues and fluids relevant for the neurologic, neuropsychologic, psychiatric and neuropathologic manifestations of HIV infection, linked to medical records and an on-going clinical trial for research use by the scientific community. The MHBB conducts a longitudinal, observational study that follows a group of HIV-infected individuals who have agreed to be fluid and organ donors for the purposes of AIDS research. They are currently the largest, multidisciplinary neuroAIDS cohort in New York City, the epicenter of the US HIV epidemic. Research participants undergo regular neurologic, neuropsychologic, and psychiatric evaluations, and provide body fluid samples that are linked to clinical information. Upon their demise, study participants become organ donors. This program has supplied clinical information, tissue, and fluid samples to over 70 qualified AIDS researchers across America, Europe and Australia. In fulfilling its resource mission, the MHBB functions as part of the National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC). MHBB provides a means by which people living with HIV can be engaged in the struggle to improve our knowledge about HIV infection and the damage it causes to the body.
