Atlas of gene regulatory elements in adult mouse cerebrum. Atlas of CIS elements, providing information on accessible chromatin in individual cells from regions of adult mouse isocortex, olfactory bulb, hippocampus and cerebral nuclei. Uses resulting data to define candidate cis-regulatory DNA elements in distinct cell groups. Many are linked to putative target genes expressed in diverse cerebral cell types and uncover transcriptional regulators involved in broad spectrum of molecular and cellular pathways in different neuronal and glial cell populations. Used for analysis of gene regulatory programs of mammalian brain and interpretation of non-coding risk variants associated with various neurological disease and traits in humans.

https://www.nitrc.org/projects/rshrf

Software toolbox for resting state HRF estimation and deconvolution analysis. Matlab and Python toolbox that implements HRF estimation and deconvolution from resting state BOLD signal. Used to retrieve optimal lag between events and HRF onset, as well as HRF shape. Once that HRF has been retrieved for each voxel/vertex, it can be deconvolved from time series or one can map shape parameters everywhere in brain and use it as pathophysiological indicator. Input can be 2D GIfTI, 3D or 4D NIfTI images, but also on time series matrices/vectors. Output are three HRF shape parameters for each voxel/vertex, plus deconvolved time series, and number of retrieved pseudo events. All can be written back to GIfTI or NIfTI images.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on February 07, 2013. A set of human neuroanatomical resources developed at the University of Hungary. Resources include an on-line brain atlas, a neuropathology atlas, functional neuroanatomy for neurologists and an extensive series of links to other neuroanatomy and neurological resources on the web. The original resources developed by this site include a set of neuropathological slides covering many neurological conditions, e.g., Alzheimer's disease, an atlas of normal human neuroanatomy based on unstained brain slices, along with histological images of brainstem and spinal cord. On-line quizzes are also provided. This is an excellent educational site and gateway to neurological resources on the web.

A brain bank which collects postmortem human brains to meet the needs of neuroscientists investigating specific psychiatric and neurological disorders. NYBB disburses tissue samples to investigating clinicians or scientists whose research has been approved by their Institutional Review Board. The tasks of the NYBB include: collection and processing of human postmortem brain samples for research; neuropathological evaluation and diagnosis; storage and computerized inventory of brain samples; and distribution of brain samples to investigating clinicians and scientists. Brains from individuals without neurological or psychiatric disorders are used as normal controls.

It is a widely used resource for researchers trying to find the causes of, and better treatments for, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression. Brains were collected 1994 to 2005 with the permission of the families in a standardized manner, with half of each specimen being frozen and half fixed in formalin. Currently four cohorts are available for study; the Neuropathology Consortium consisting of 60 cases (15 each schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and controls), the Array Collection consisting of 105 cases (35 each schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and controls), the Depression Collection consisting of 36 cases (12 each depression with psychosis, depression without psychosis, and controls), and the Parietal Collection of 48 cases (fixed inferior parietal sections from 24 each schizophrenia and controls). Since 1996, the Stanley Brain Collection has sent over 200,000 sections and 10,000 blocks of brain tissue to 240 research laboratories in 23 states and 20 foreign countries. All tissue has been provided to the researchers without charge. All costs for collecting, processing, and storing the brain tissue have been borne by The Stanley Medical Research Institute as a public service. All reasonable requests for brain tissue (over 90 percent of applications) have been honored. Researchers selected to receive tissue must sign an agreement that sets forth conditions for its use. Results received from researchers become part of the Stanley brain collection data set and will be used for integrative, multivariate analyses. In addition to overseeing the brain collection, the laboratory conducts research on the neuropathology of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and on brain development. Many studies carried out at the Stanley Brain Research Laboratory are done in cooperation with studies at the Stanley Laboratory of Developmental Neurovirology.

Atlases of human brain, thoracic viscera and knee designed for teaching gross anatomy. Also provides a neuroanatomy Interactive syllabus, suitable as a laboratory guide, with an instructive caption accompanying each image and interactive quizzes. The Digital Anatomist Project is motivated by the belief that anatomy is the basis of all the biomedical sciences (including clinical medicine). Manifestations of health and disease can be regarded as attributes of anatomical structures ranging in size from molecules to body parts. Therefore DAP''s goal is to represent anatomy in a comprehensive and consistent way, which should meet the needs of all biomedical applications that require anatomical knowledge. DAP has pursued two parallel tracks for representing anatomical information: 1. The generation of graphical models derived from cadaver and clinical imaging data; and 2. Symbolic modeling of the structures and relationships that constitute the human body. It''s initial work with graphical representations of anatomy provided the impetus and motivation for the National Library of Medicine to establish the Visible Human Project, and it''s symbolic modeling has enhanced NLM''s Unified Medical Language System in order to represent deep anatomical knowledge. In collaboration with the knowledge systems group at Stanford, it has now created a very large knowledge base which provides the foundation for the machine-based intelligence needed to remotely interact with biomedical image data.

An open international project under the patronage of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) that aims: To analyze the brain proteome of human as well as mouse models in healthy, neurodiseased and aged status with focus on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease; To perform quantitative proteomics as well as complementary gene expression profiling on disease-related brain areas and bodily fluids; To advance knowledge of neurodiseases and aging in order to push new diagnostic approaches and medications; To exchange knowledge and data with other HUPO projects and national / international initiatives in the neuroproteomic field; To make neuroproteomic research and its results available in the scientific community and society. Recent work has shown that standards in proteomics and especially in bioinformatics are mandatory to allow comparable analyses, but still missing. To address this challenge, the HUPO BPP is closely working together with the HUPO Proteome Standards Initiative (HUPO PSI).
