http://chronux.org

Open-source software package for the analysis of neural data. Chronux routines may be employed in the analysis of both point process and continuous data, ranging from preprocessing, exploratory and confirmatory analysis. The current release is implemented as a MATLAB library. Chronux offers several routines for computing spectra and coherences for both point and continuous processes. In addition, it also offers several general purpose routines that were found useful such as a routine for extracting specified segments from data, or binning spike time data with bins of a specified size. Since the data can be continuous valued, point process times, or point processes that are binned, methods that apply to all these data types are given in routines whose names end with ''''c'''' for continuous, ''''pb'''' for binned point processes, and ''''pt'''' for point process times. Thus, mtspectrumc computes the spectrum of continuous data, mtspectrumpb computes a spectrum for binned point processes, and mtspectrumpt compute spectra for data consisting of point process times. Hybrid routines are also available and similarly named - for instance coherencycpb computes the coherency between continuous and binned point process data.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Database / display tool of genome scans, with a web interface that lets the user view the data. It does not perform any analyses - these must be done by other software, and the results uploaded into it. The basic features of GSCANDB are: * Parallel viewing of scans for multiple phenotypes. * Parallel analyses of the same scan data. * Genome-wide views of genome scans * Chromosomal region views, with zooming * Gene and SNP Annotation is shown at high zoom levels * Haplotype block structure viewing * The positions of known Trait Loci can be overlayed and queried. * Links to Ensembl, MGI, NCBI, UCSC and other genome data browsers. In GSCANDB, a genome scan has a wide definition, including not only the usual statistical genetic measures of association between genetic variation at a series of loci and variation in a phenotype, but any quantitative measure that varies along the genome. This includes for example competitive genome hybridization data and some kinds of gene expression measurements.

The purpose of the NIMH Toxicological Evaluation of Novel Ligands Program is to accelerate the discovery, development, and application of novel ligands for PET, SPECT, and MRI imaging in humans by providing toxicology and safety assessment of promising, target-selective compounds. The program will also provide limited assessment of novel psychoactive agents for clinical research and as potential therapeutics. Toxicology and safety data generated by the program will be used to support an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or for Radioactive Drug Research Committee (RDRC) evaluation of a compound for human studies. The contract will evaluate toxicity and safety of compounds submitted for testing which may include, but are not limited to, novel chemical entities, structural analogs of compounds with an IND, or analogs of FDA-approved drugs. The services available under this program fall under four general phases: (1) analytical, (2) pharmacokinetics, (3) preliminary safety, and (4) IND-directed toxicity including safety pharmacology. What is available A broad range of tasks are available for assessing the safety and/or pharmacokinetics of each ligand. Specific capabilities available to investigators include: * Validation of the analytical methods for quantitating drug concentrations in dosing solutions, biological fluids, and tissues, as required. Determination of plasma drug levels in animals administered the agent under study, and calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters derived from these data. * Determination of bioavailability of the drug after different routes of administration, including oral, intravenous (i.v.), subcutaneous (s.c.), intramuscular (i.m.), or intraperitoneal (i.p.), as needed. Calculation of the pharmacokinetic parameters from the derived data. * In vitro evaluation of hepatotoxicity in human and animal liver cells. * Preclinical acute toxicity evaluations on lead compounds, evaluating clinical observations, body weights, clinical pathology, histopathology, and plasma drug levels in rodents and non-rodent species. Other toxicology endpoints may be selected if needed. * Subacute and subchronic toxicity evaluations in rodents and large animal species, evaluating clinical observations, body weights, clinical pathology, and histopathology. * Genotoxicity assessments using a battery of appropriate assays. Since these preclinical studies are needed to demonstrate to the FDA that a candidate medication or imaging agent is understood well enough for designing appropriate clinical treatment regimens, most of the work to be conducted to achieve these objectives must be performed and the resulting data analyzed and reported in strict compliance with the FDA''s GLP regulations for nonclinical laboratory studies (21 CFR 58). These data must be obtained by carefully planned and skillfully executed methods that are specific, accurate, and precise. The applicable portions of the accumulated safety data will be included in documents submitted to the FDA in support of regulatory applications. Who is eligible Academic investigators involved in basic or clinical research relevant to mental health. Research areas are described on the NIMH website.
