Unbiased standard magnetic resonance imaging template brain volume for normal population. These volumes were created using data from ICBM project. 6 different templates are available: * ICBM 2009a Nonlinear Symmetric - template which includes T1w,T2w,PDw modalities, also T2 relaxometry (T2 values calculated for each subject using single dual echo PD/T2 scan), and tissue probabilities maps. Also included lobe atlas used for ANIMAL+INSECT segmentation, brain mask, eye mask and face mask. Intensity inhomogeneity was performed using N3 version 1.10.1. * ICBM 2009a Nonlinear Asymmetric template - template which includes T1w,T2w,PDw modalities, and tissue probabilities maps. Intensity inhomogeneity was performed using N3 version 1.10.1. Also included brain mask, eye mask and face mask. * ICBM 2009b Nonlinear Symmetric - template which includes only T1w,T2w and PDw modalities. * ICBM 2009b Nonlinear Asymmetric - template which includes only T1w,T2w and PDw modalities. * ICBM 2009c Nonlinear Symmetric - template which includes T1w,T2w,PDw modalities, and tissue probabilities maps. Also included lobe atlas used for ANIMAL+INSECT segmentation, brain mask, eye mask and face mask. Intensity inhomogeneity was performed using N3 version 1.11. Sampling is different from 2009a template. * ICBM 2009c Nonlinear Asymmetric template - template which includes T1w,T2w,PDw modalities, and tissue probabilities maps. Intensity inhomogeneity was performed using N3 version 1.11 Also included brain mask, eye mask and face mask.Sampling is different from 2009a template. All templates are describing the same anatomy, but sampling is different. Also, different versions of N3 algorithm produces slightly different tissue probability maps. Tools for using these atlases can be found in the Software section. Viewing the multiple atlas volumes online requires Java browser support. You may also download the templates - see licensing information.

A reference atlas of cynomolgus macaque monkey magnetic resonance images. The template brain volume that offers a common stereotaxic reference frame to localize anatomical and functional information in an organized and reliable way for comparison across individual cynomolgus monkeys and studies. We have used MRI volumes from a group of 18 normal adult cynomulgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) to create the individual atlas. Thus, the atlas does not rely on the anatomy of a single subject, but instead depends on nonlinear normalization of numerous cynomolgus monkey brains mapped to an average template image that is faithful to the location of anatomical structures. Tools for registering a native MRI to the cynomolgus macaque atlas can be found in the Software section. Viewing the atlas and associated volumes online requires Java browser support. Additionally, you may download the atlas and associated files in your chosen format.

A reference atlas of rhesus macaque monkey magnetic resonance images that offers a common stereotaxic reference frame. The atlas can be used to localize anatomical and functional information in an organized and reliable way for comparison across individual rhesus monkeys and studies. We have used MRI volumes from a group of 7 normal adult rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) to create the individual atlas. Thus, the atlas does not rely on the anatomy of a single subject, but instead depends on nonlinear normalization of numerous rhesus monkey brains mapped to an average template image that is faithful to the location of anatomical structures. Tools for registering a native MRI to the rhesus macaque atlas can be found in the Software section. Viewing the atlas and associated volumes online requires Java browser support. Additionally, you may download the atlas and associated files in your chosen format.

Aggregator of blogs about new developments in science and other fields that allows readers to easily find blog posts about serious peer-reviewed research, instead of just news reports and press releases. If you''re a blogger who writes about serious research, Research Blogging offers you a way to distinguish your serious posts from news, politics, family, bagpipes, and so on. They can direct your regular readers - and new readers - to the posts you''ve worked the hardest to create. All you need to get started is a blog and a peer-reviewed research report that you''d like to discuss. How it works * Bloggers -- often experts in their field -- find exciting new peer-reviewed research they''d like to share. They write thoughtful posts about the research for their blogs. * Bloggers register and use a simple one-line form to create a snippet of code to place in their posts. This snippet not only notifies this site about their post, it also creates a properly formatted research citation for their blog. * Their software automatically scans registered blogs for posts containing their code snippet. When it finds them, it indexes them and displays them on their front page -- thousands of posts from hundreds of blogs, in one convenient place, organized by topic. * Their editors identify the notable posts in each major discipline, publishing the results on their news page. * Other services like PubGet index their database as well, so every time readers search for a journal article, they can also locate blog posts discussing the article. * The quality of the posts listed on their site is monitored by the member bloggers. If a post doesn''t follow their guidelines, it is removed from their database. Borderline cases may be discussed publicly on the blog as well. Bloggers are also provided with an icon they can use to show when they''re talking about a peer-reviewed work that they''ve read and analyzed closely. There are already over seven thousand blog posts using the icon, and now it''s easier than ever to find them.

An endowment that offers funding for neuroscience research, especially as it may apply to Minnesota, agriculture, or if the researchers are based in Minnesota. The McKnight Foundation, a Minnesota-based family foundation, seeks to improve the quality of life for present and future generations through grantmaking, collaboration, and strategic policy reform in the following areas: arts, education and learning, environment, the region and communities, agricultural research, and neuroscience research. The McKnight Foundation assists nonprofit organizations and public agencies to improve the quality of life for all people, particularly those in need. Through grantmaking, coalition-building, and encouragement of strategic policy reform, we aim to build and maintain vibrant communities; enrich people''s lives through the arts; encourage protection of the natural environment; and promote research in selected fields. The Foundation had assets of approximately $1.8 billion and gave about $98 million in grants in 2009. Generally speaking, McKnight supports nonprofit organizations in Minnesota, U.S., only. McKnight''s primary geographic focus in grantmaking is to nonprofit organizations located within the state of Minnesota. We do not provide funding outside Minnesota, with five important programmatic exceptions: * Collaborative Crop research: International. * East Africa: Tanzania and Uganda only. * Mississippi River: 10 states bordering or encompassing the Mississippi River. * Neuroscience research: National. * Southeast Asia: Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam only. Each program is different. Please consult the specific guidelines appropriate to your project or organization for funding details. With very few exceptions, McKnight funds nonprofit organizations only. To be eligible for a grant, applicants must be classified by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations. We discourage the use of fiscal agents.
