Large, ongoing, multifactorial study based on nation-wide ascertainment of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder through the Swedish Twin Registry to include both neuroimaging data, neurocognitive function, molecular genetic data and early adverse environmental factors in the same model in a genetic sensitive design. Swedish schizophrenia research will benefit from this large study database of in total 240 affected and healthy twin pairs collected over a 5 year period. The specific aims are: * To elucidate neural endophenotypes for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and to clarify the extent of overlap in these features between the two syndromes. * To investigate candidate genes and genomic regions for linkage and association with neural endophenotypes for schizophrenia and bipolar disease. * To determine the contributions of adverse prenatal and perinatal conditions to neural changes associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disease. Types of samples * EDTA whole blood * DNA * RNA Number of sample donors: 251 (June 2010)

A Matlab toolbox for fMRI data analysis using Independent Component Analysis (ICA). It provides an integrated environment to manage, process and analyze fMRI data in a single framework so that users can complete the analysis without switching between software. In addition, it provides an interactive Matlab graphic user interface (GUI). All the necessary processes to apply ICA to fMRI data and review its results can be run from the graphic interface. The FMRLAB processing flow is straightforward. Custom analyses can be performed with Matlab scripts using the FMRLAB functions and data structure. Since fMRI data analysis is a complex enterprise, including digital image processing, statistical analysis and data visualization, an integrated framework combining processing elements is desired eagerly by users in the neuroimaging community. Recently, large number of software tools for data analysis and visualization have been developed for this purpose. However, most of these tools use model-based statistical methods which assume that the users know the hemodynamic response (HR) for their paradigm in advance and can specify a reasonable HR model. Often, however, accurate or reasonable response HR models are unavailable. An alternative data-driven method, infomax ICA (McKeown et al., 1998), does not require that an a priori HR model, instead deriving HRs of spatially independent components of the entire data set from the higher-order statistics of the data themselves. FMRLAB is a toolbox running under Matlab containing necessary components for data-driven fMRI data analysis using the highly reliable infomax ICA algorithm (Bell & Sejnowski, 1995), normalized (Amari, 1999), extended (Lee, Girolami and Sejnowski, 1999) and automated by Makeig et al. FMRLAB has been developed under Matlab 6.1 running on Red Hat Linux. FMRLAB Features * Graphic user interface * Flexible data importing * Interactive data plotting * Computationally efficient * Defined FMRI data structure * Independent component browser * Smooth, transparent component exporting and spatial normalization process * Interface with other software for further analysis or visualization. * SPM-style component plots (MIP, 2-D slice overlay and 3-D)

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2025. Software application that allows the researcher to evaluate evidence for linkage even when heterogeneity is present in a data set. This is not an unusual occurrence when studying diseases of complex origin. Families are ranked by covariate values in order to test evidence for linkage among homogeneous subsets of families. Because families are ranked, a priori covariate cutpoints are not necessary. Covariates may include linkage evidence at other genes, environmental exposures, or biological trait values such as cholesterol, age at onset, and so on.

A user-friendly, graphical user interface (GUI) that allows statistical and visual manipulations of real and simulated three-dimensional spatial point patterns. The analyses use files containing sets of X, Y, Z coordinates. These point patterns are frequently coordinates of cells of specific cell classes within in volumes of tissue derived from microscopy analyses. The analyses are scale independent so spatial analyses of coordinates from larger and smaller scale distributions are possible. The software can also generate sample sets of X, Y, Z coordinates for program exploration and modeling purposes.

https://github.com/SciKnowEngine/kefed.io

Knowledge engineering software for reasoning with scientific observations and interpretations. The software has three parts: (a) the KEfED model editor - a design editor for creating KEfED models by drawing a flow diagram of an experimental protocol; (b) the KEfED data interface - a spreadsheet-like tool that permits users to enter experimental data pertaining to a specific model; (c) a "neural connection matrix" interface that presents neural connectivity as a table of ordinal connection strengths representing the interpretations of tract-tracing data. This tool also allows the user to view experimental evidence pertaining to a specific connection. The KEfED model is designed to provide a lightweight representation for scientific knowledge that is (a) generalizable, (b) a suitable target for text-mining approaches, (c) relatively semantically simple, and (d) is based on the way that scientist plan experiments and should therefore be intuitively understandable to non-computational bench scientists. The basic idea of the KEfED model is that scientific observations tend to have a common design: there is a significant difference between measurements of some dependent variable under conditions specified by two (or more) values of some independent variable.

http://www.loni.usc.edu/Software/Pipeline

A free workflow application primarily aimed at neuroimaging researchers that allows users to easily describe their executables in a graphical user interface (ie. create a module) and connect them together to create complex analyses all without having to code a single line in a scripting language. The Pipeline Client runs on your PC/Mac/Linux computer upon which you can create sophisticated processing workflows using a variety of commonly available executable tools (e.g. FSL, AIR, FreeSurfer, AFNI, Diffusion Toolkit, etc). The Distributed Pipeline Server can be installed on your Linux cluster and you can submit processing jobs directly to your own compute systems. Once you����??ve created a module for use in the LONI Pipeline, you can save it into your personal library and reuse it in other workflows you create by simply dragging and dropping it in. Because the LONI Pipeline is written in Java, you can work in whatever operating system suits you best. If there are tools that you need that can only work on another operating system, you can install a Pipeline server on that computer and connect from your client to do processing and analysis remotely.

A test-retest dataset to assess the reliability of multiband resting state fMRI (R-fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scans prior to launch of the Enhanced Nathan Kline Institute - Rockland Sample (NKI-RS). The dataset is primarily composed of individuals from the initial NKI-RS - for these individuals psychiatric assessment information is available and included (participants were not excluded due to history of illness. In addition to R-fMRI and DTI, they included: 1) simple visual checkerboard stimulation fMRI scans to allow for assessment of traditional fMRI data quality metrics (e.g., contrast-to-noise ratio), 2) breath holding data to enable assessment of regional differences in vascular responsiveness, and 3) eye movement calibration scans to enable the assessment of eye-movement related artifacts which may be particularly troublesome for multiband sequences since several slices are acquired simultaneously.
