The Division of Intramural Research Programs (DIRP) at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is the internal research division of the NIMH. NIMH DIRP scientists conduct research ranging from studies into mechanisms of normal brain function, conducted at the behavioral, systems, cellular, and molecular levels, to clinical investigations into the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness. Major disease entities studied throughout the lifespan include mood disorders and anxiety, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders. Because of its outstanding resources, unique funding mechanisms, and location in the nation''s capital, the DIRP is viewed as a national resource, providing unique opportunities in mental health research and research training. Training is conducted in all the Institute''s clinical branches and basic neuroscience laboratories located on the 305-acre National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Maryland. In addition to individualized trainee/mentor-driven postdoctoral training opportunities in the clinical and basic sciences, the DIRP offers Postbaccalaureate Research Training Awards, a Clinical Electives Program, as well as a variety of Summer Research Fellowships and an Undergraduate Internship Program. The mission of the division is to plan and conduct basic, clinical, and translational research to advance understanding of the diagnosis, causes, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders through the study of brain function and behavior; conduct state-of-the-art research that, in part, complements extramural research activities and exploits the special resources of the National Institutes of Health; and provide an environment conducive to the training and development of clinical and basic scientists. In addition the DIRP fosters standards of excellence in the ethical treatment and the provision of clinical care to research subjects; serve as a resource to the NIMH in responding to requests made by the Administration, members of Congress, and citizens'' groups for information regarding mental disorders; and analyzes and evaluates national needs and research opportunities and provides advice to the Institute Director on matters of scientific interest. Core Facilities: * Functional MRI Core * Magnetic Resonance Core * Magnetoencephalography Core * Microarray Core * Neurophysiology Imaging Facility * Non-Human Primate Core * Scientific and Statistical Computing Core * Section on Instrumentation Core * Transgenic Core * Veterinary Medicine Resources

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-priorities/rdoc/index.shtml

NIMH Strategic Plan developing, for research purposes, new ways of classifying psychopathology based on dimensions of observable behavior and neurobiological measures. In brief, the effort is to define basic dimensions of functioning (such as fear circuitry or working memory) to be studied across multiple units of analysis, from genes to neural circuits to behaviors, cutting across disorders as traditionally defined. The intent is to translate rapid progress in basic neurobiological and behavioral research to an improved integrative understanding of psychopathology and the development of new and/or optimally matched treatments for mental disorders. The various domains of functioning, and their constituent elements, are being defined by an ongoing series of consensus workshops; input from the research community and other interested stakeholders is encouraged.

http://cogpo.org

Ontology used to describe the experimental conditions within cognitive and behavioral experiments, primarily in humans for application and use in the functional neuroimaging community. CogPO has been developed through the integration of the Functional Imaging Biomedical Informatics Research Network (FBIRN) Human Imaging Database (HID) and the BrainMap Database. The design of CogPO concentrates on what can be observed directly: categorization of each paradigm in terms of (1) the stimulus presented to the subjects, (2) the requested instructions, and (3) the returned response.

http://www.schizophreniaforum.org/

The mission of the SRF is to help in the search for causes, treatments, and understanding of the devastating disease of schizophrenia. Our goal is to foster collaboration among researchers by providing an international online forum where ideas, research news, and data can be presented and discussed. The website is intended to bring together scientists working specifically on schizophrenia, scientists researching related diseases, and basic scientists whose work can shed light on these diseases. In this way, we hope that the Schizophrenia Research Forum will be a catalyst for creative thinking in the quest to understand a deeply complex disease. It is our goal to create and maintain up-to-date content of the highest quality. The website is free of charge to users, independent of industry sponsorship, and open to the public. Though geared toward researchers, we welcome other visitorspeople with mental illnesses, families, the media, and others who need accurate information on research into schizophrenia. We do, however, require that users who wish to post comments and other materials be registered members. All such materials are subject to approval by the editorial team. As a forum, we encourage participation and welcome feedback from the community.

http://trackvis.org/

TrackVis is software tool that can visualize and analyze fiber track data from diffusion MR imaging (DTI/DSI/HARDI/Q-Ball) tractography. It does NOT perform actual fiber tracking. Diffusion Toolkit is a set of tools that reconstruct diffusion imaging data and generate fiber track data for TrackVis to visualize. Because these two sets of tools were developed and maintained separately and each has distinguished funtionalities, they decided to distribute them as two separate programs for the ease of maintenance and upgrade. You do need both of them to perform complete diffusion data processing and analysis. Features of TrackVis include: * Cross-platform. Works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux with native look and feel. * A variety of track filters (track selecting methods) allowing users to explore and locate specific bundles with ease. * Multiple rendering modes with customizable scalar-driven color codes. * Real-time parameter adjustment and 3D render. * Open format of the track data file allowing users to integrate customized scalar data into the track file and visualize and analyze it. Save and restore scenes in XML style scene file. * Statistical scalar analysis of tracks and ROIs. * Synchronized real-time multiple dataset analysis and display allowing time-point and/or subject comparison. Synchronized analysis and display on same dataset can also be performed in real-time remotely over the network. * Upfront in-line parameter adjustment in real-time. No tedious pop-up dialogs. TrackVis works with Track File created by Diffusion Toolkit. Diffusion Toolkit processes raw DICOM, Nifti format and ANALYZE images. TrackVis and Diffusion Toolkit are cross-platform software. They can run on Windows XP, Mac OS X as well as Linux.

http://wings-workflows.org

A software application which assists scientists with designing computational experiments. WINGS is a semantic workflow system which incorporates semantic constraints about datasets and workflow components into its workflow representations. The workflow system has an open modular design and can be easily integrated with other existing workflow systems and execution frameworks to extend them with semantic reasoning capabilities. WINGS also allows users to express high-level descriptions of their analysis goals, and assists them by automatically and systematically generating possible workflows that are consistent with that request. In cases where privacy or off-line use are important, WINGS can submit workflows in a scripted format for execution in the local host. It uses Pegasus or OODT as the execution engine for large-scale distributed workflow execution.
