THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. A community-driven knowledgebase of Alzheimer disease, in which researchers can annotate scientific claims, data, and information, putting these into the context of testable hypotheses and treatment discovery. This SWAN project adds a collection of hand-curated hypotheses to a research paper, which are then related through a set of discourse relationships. They can be browsed and relations between claims, as well as support networks for a specific claim, are made and visualized. AlzSWAN is where you explore scientific knowledge about Alzheimer disease and share your own ideas, comments and questions in a semantically structured system. AlzSWAN is enabled by Semantic Web technology, a new standard for knowledge organization and transfer on the Web. AlzSWAN organizes and manages knowledge using formal knowledge descriptions called ontologies. Using these formal knowledge descriptions, they can tie statements made in scientific publications or on the Web to scientific evidence, biological terminologies, and knowledgebases, and to claims and counterclaims made by other researchers.

http://www.radiology.ucsf.edu/cind

Biomedical technology research center that develops and validates new imaging methods for detecting brain abnormalities in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, as well as epilepsy, depression, and other conditions associated with nerve loss in the brain. As people around the globe live longer, the impact of neurodegenerative diseases is expected to increase further with dire social and economical consequences for societies if no effective treatments are developed soon. The development at CIND is aimed to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The ultimate goal of the scientific program is to identify imaging markers that improve accuracy in diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases at early stages, achieve more reliable prognoses of disease progression, and facilitate the discovery of effective treatment interventions. In addition to addressing the general needs for studying neurodegenerative diseases, another focus of CIND concerns brain diseases associated with military service and war combat, such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), brain trauma, gulf war illness and the long-term effects of these conditions on the mental health of veterans. The symbiosis between CIND and the Veterans Administration Medical Center in San Francisco makes this program uniquely suited to serve military veterans.
