http://www.mouseconnectome.org/

Three-dimensional digital connectome atlas of the C57Black/6J mouse brain and catalog of neural tracer injection cases, which will eventually cover the entire brain. Serial sections of each case are available to view at 10x magnification in the interactive iConnectome viewer. The Image Gallery provides a glimpse into some of the highlights of their data set. Representative images of multi-fluorescent tracer labeling can be viewed, while more in depth examination of these and all other cases can be performed in the iConnectome viewer. Phase 1 of this project involves generating a physical map of the basic global wiring diagram by applying proven, state of the art experimental circuit tracing methods systematically, uniformly, and comprehensively to the structural organization of all major neuronal pathways in the mouse brain. Connectivity imaging data for the whole mouse brain at cellular resolution will be presented within a standard 3D anatomic frame available through the website and accompanied by a comprehensive searchable online database. A Phase 2 goal for the future will allow users to view, search, and generate driving direction-like roadmaps of neuronal pathways linking any and all structures in the nervous system. This could be looked on as a pilot project for more ambitious projects in species with larger brains, such as human, and for providing a reliable framework for more detailed local circuitry mapping projects in the mouse.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on 7/28/13. Core facility of Columbia Neuroscience with the goal of establishing a collaborative and multi-investigator neuroimaging environment that is focused on the investigation of the neurocircuitry of the brain that underlies cognition, perception and action, and also the development of clinical applications that enhance the goals of personalized medicine. Within this environment the specific current research interests of the Hirsch group include several related directions of investigation. The first is conscious and subconscious neural processes that mediate emotion and cognition in healthy individuals and in patients with psychiatric disorders. This direction also includes neurocircuitry that is characteristic of disorders of consciousness such as minimally conscious or vegetative states, self and visual awareness, and attention. Neurocircuitry of other complex cognitive processes such as decisions, inductive and deductive reasoning, language, truthfulness and top-down influences of expectation, reward, and regulation on early visual and mid-level perceptual and emotional systems. On-going projects targeted for clinical applications include benefits for neurosurgery such as the development of task batteries to map the cortical locations of essential functions such as language, motor, sensation, memory, emotion and sensory functions including visions, audition and the chemical senses. Computational innovations for labeling correspondence between brain structure and specific functional regions are under development to achieve the highest interpretive precision. Current projects include integration of EEG and fMRI techniques to localize seizuregenic cortex in relation to eloquent and functioning cortex for neurosurgical planning; integration of TMS and fMRI to discriminate essential and associative language-sensitive cortical areas; and integration of VEP, EEG and fMRI to inform assessments of visual disease secondary to stroke or neural degeneration. Projects intended to refine and enhance diagnosis of psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders include development of specialized paradigms to target dysfunctional neurocircuitry such as emotional systems (amygdala and basal ganglia) and control and regulatory systems (cingulate and pre-frontal cortex). Comparison of before-treatment images with after-treatment images to inform models of both treatment and disease and investigation of the hypothesis that individual genetic and functional differences have predictive value for treatment options and outcome are currently underway. The lab has pioneered techniques for functional mapping of single patients, and operates an active clinical service for mapping individuals for neurosurgical planning, assessments of the neurocircuitry that underlie acquired or inherited disabilities and the mechanisms of neuroplasticity that restore lost functions are actively investigated using both groups and single subject studies. :

Online access (html or xml) to structural connectivity ("wiring") data on the Macaque brain. The database has become by far the largest of its kind, with data extracted from more than four hundred published tracing studies. The main database, contains data from tracing studies on anatomical connectivity in the macaque cerebral cortex. Also available are a variety of tools including a graphical simulation workbench, map displays and the CoCoMac-Paxinos-3D viewer. Submissions are welcome. To overcome the problem of divergent brain maps ORT (Objective Relational Transformation) was developed, an algorithmic method to convert data in a coordinate- independent way based on logical relations between areas in different brain maps. CoCoMac data is used to analyze the organization of the cerebral cortex, and to establish its structure- function relationships. This includes multi-variate statistics and computer simulation of models that take into account the real anatomy of the primate cerebral cortex. This site * Provides full, scriptable open access to the data in CoCoMac (you must adhere to the citation policy) * Powers the graphical interface to CoCoMac provided by the Scalable Brain Atlas * Sports an extensive search/browse wizard, which automatically constructs complex search queries and lets you further explore the database from the results page. * Allows you to get your hands dirty, by using the custom SQL query service. * Displays connectivity data in tabular form, through the axonal projections service. CoCoMac 2 was initiated at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and is currently supported by the German neuroinformatics node and the Computational and Systems Neuroscience group at the Juelich research institute.

https://epilepsy.uni-freiburg.de/freiburg-seizure-prediction-project

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 29,2025. Electroencephalogram (EEG) data recorded from invasive and scalp electrodes. The EEG database contains invasive EEG recordings of 21 patients suffering from medically intractable focal epilepsy. The data were recorded during an invasive pre-surgical epilepsy monitoring at the Epilepsy Center of the University Hospital of Freiburg, Germany. In eleven patients, the epileptic focus was located in neocortical brain structures, in eight patients in the hippocampus, and in two patients in both. In order to obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio, fewer artifacts, and to record directly from focal areas, intracranial grid-, strip-, and depth-electrodes were utilized. The EEG data were acquired using a Neurofile NT digital video EEG system with 128 channels, 256 Hz sampling rate, and a 16 bit analogue-to-digital converter. Notch or band pass filters have not been applied. For each of the patients, there are datasets called ictal and interictal, the former containing files with epileptic seizures and at least 50 min pre-ictal data. the latter containing approximately 24 hours of EEG-recordings without seizure activity. At least 24 h of continuous interictal recordings are available for 13 patients. For the remaining patients interictal invasive EEG data consisting of less than 24 h were joined together, to end up with at least 24 h per patient. An interdisciplinary project between: * Epilepsy Center, University Hospital Freiburg * Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN), Freiburg * Freiburg Center for Data Analysis and Modeling (FDM).

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on March 27, 2013. A manual generated database for alternative exons and their properties from numerous species - the data is gathered from literature where these exons have been experimentally verified. Most alternative exons are cassette exons and are expressed in more than two tissues. Of all exons whose expression was reported to be specific for a certain tissue, the majority were expressed in the brain. At the moment, AEdb products that are available are sequence (a database of alternative exons), function (a database of functions attributed to constitutive and alternative exon), regulatory sequence (a database of transcript regulatory motifs), minigenes (a table of minigenes and their associations to splicing events), and diseases (a table of diseases associated with splicing and their associations to AltSplice). Alternative splicing is an important regulatory mechanism of mammalian gene expression. The alternative splicing database (ASD) consortium is systematically collecting and annotating data on alternative splicing. The continuation and upgrade of the ASD consists of computationally and manually generated data. Its largest parts are AltSplice, a value-added database of computationally delineated alternative splicing events. Its data include alternatively spliced introns/exons, events, isoform splicing patterns and isoform peptide sequences. AltSplice data are generated by examining gene-transcript alignments. The data are annotated for various biological features including splicing signals, expression states, (SNP)-mediated splicing and cross-species conservation. AEdb forms the manually curated component of ASD. It is a literature-based data set containing sequence and properties of alternatively spliced exons, functional enumeration of observed splicing events, characterization of observed splicing regulatory elements, and a collection of experimentally clarified minigene constructs.
