A database of brain neuroanatomic volumetric observations spanning various species, diagnoses, and structures for both individual and group results. A major thrust effort is to enable electronic access to the results that exist in the published literature. Currently, there is quite limited electronic or searchable methods for the data observations that are contained in publications. This effort will facilitate the dissemination of volumetric observations by making a more complete corpus of volumetric observations findable to the neuroscience researcher. This also enhances the ability to perform comparative and integrative studies, as well as metaanalysis. Extensions that permit pre-published, non-published and other representation are planned, again to facilitate comparative analyses. Design strategy: The principle organizing data structure is the "publication". Publications report on "groups" of subjects. These groups have "demographic" information as well as "volume" information for the group as a whole. Groups are comprised of "individuals", which also have demographic and volume information for each of the individuals. The finest-grained data structure is the "individual volume record" which contains a volume observation, the units for the observation, and a pointer to the demographic record for individual upon which the observation is derived. A collection of individual volumes can be grouped into a "group volume" observation; the group can be demographically characterized by the distribution of individual demographic observations for the members of the group.

The Electronic Prenatal Mouse Brain Atlas, EPMBA, at present consists of two sets of annotated images of coronal sections from Gestational Day (GD) 12 heads and GD 16 brains of C57BL/6J mice. Ten micron thick sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Images were prepared at various resolutions for annotations and for high resolution presentation. A subset of sections were annotated and linked to anatomical terms. Additionally, horizontal sections of a GD 12 head were aligned and re-assembled into a 3D volume for digital sectioning in arbitrarily oblique planes. These images were captured using a Nikon E800 stereomicroscope with a 10X objective. The resolution is 1.35 pixels/micrometer. The PC program used to grab the images, Microbrightfield's Neurolucida (version 6), stitched together a mosaic of between 10 and 50 high-res images for each tissue slice, while the user focused the scope for each mosaic tile. Since the nature of optic lenses is to focus on one central point, it was difficult to obtain a uniformly-focused field of vision; as such, small areas of these images are blurred. Images were then transferred to a Macintosh and processed in Adobe Photoshop (version 7). Color levels were adjusted for maximum clarity of the tissue, and areas surrounding the tissue were cleared of artifacts. Each image is approximately 3350 pixels wide by 2650 pixels high. A scale bar with a length of 1350 pixels/mm is visible in the lower right-hand corner of each image. The annotations have been completed for the Atlas of Developing Mouse Brain Gestational (Embryonic) Day 12 (7/5/07) as well as the Atlas of Developing Mouse Brain Embryonic Day 16 (4/26/07). The 3D EPMBA data set has been mounted on a NeuroTerrain Atlas Server (NtAS). (6/27/07).

A not for profit organization to accelerate research into aging by sharing resources: providing access to cost and time effective, aged murine tissue through a biorepository and database of live ageing colonies, as well as promoting the networking of researchers and dissemination of knowledge through its online collaborative environment; MiCEPACE. ShARM will provide valuable resources for the scientific community while helping to reduce the number of animals used in vital research into aging. The biobank of tissue and networking facility will enable scientists to access shared research material and data. By making use of collective resources, the number of individual animals required in research experiments can be minimized. The project also has the added value of helping to reduce the costs of research by connecting scientists, pooling resource and combining knowledge. ShARM works in partnership with MRC Harwell and the Centre for Intergrated Research into Musculoskeletal Ageing (CIMA).

Abbreviated reference atlas for the Embryonic 15.5 post conception day mouse. All sections were nissl stained and digitized. To assist in the initial identification of sites of gene expression sites, maps of brains are available for E15.5, P7 and the adult. These maps depict the boundaries of major brain regions (cortex, thalamus, striatum, globus pallidus, ventral striatum, septum, basal forebrain, hippocampus, midbrain, pons, medulla, cerebellum) and also show the more prominent nerve tracts. Maps are most efficiently used by placing the window depicting the map of interest next to the gene expression image. Browsing between planes of sectioning is permitted thus allowing the most appropriate plane to be selected. The annotation of anatomical details such as brain nuclei is currently beyond the scope of the GenePaint database. Hence, such information on the anatomy of the brain and embryo should be obtained from published atlases of mouse anatomy (Kaufman, 1995; Paxinos and Franklin, 2001; Jacobowitz and Abbott, 1997; Schambra et al., 1992; Valverde1998).

http://rfmri.org/DPARSF

A MATLAB toolbox forpipeline data analysis of resting-state fMRI that is based on Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) and a plug-in software within DPABI. After the user arranges the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files and click a few buttons to set parameters, DPARSF will then give all the preprocessed (slice timing, realign, normalize, smooth) data and results for functional connectivity, regional homogeneity, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), fractional ALFF, degree centrality, voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) results. DPARSF can also create a report for excluding subjects with excessive head motion and generate a set of pictures for easily checking the effect of normalization. In addition, users can also use DPARSF to extract time courses from regions of interest. DPARSF basic edition is very easy to use while DPARSF advanced edition (alias: DPARSFA) is much more flexible and powerful. DPARSFA can parallel the computation for each subject, and can be used to reorient images interactively or define regions of interest interactively. Users can skip or combine the processing steps in DPARSF advanced edition freely.

http://neuromab.ucdavis.edu/

A national mouse monoclonal antibody generating resource for biochemical and immunohistochemical applications in mammalian brain. NeuroMabs are generated from mice immunized with synthetic and recombinant immunogens corresponding to components of the neuronal proteome as predicted from genomic and other large-scale cloning efforts. Comprehensive biochemical and immunohistochemical analyses of human, primate and non-primate mammalian brain are incorporated into the initial NeuroMab screening procedure. This yields a subset of mouse mAbs that are optimized for use in brain (i.e. NeuroMabs): for immunocytochemical-based imaging studies of protein localization in adult, developing and pathological brain samples, for biochemical analyses of subunit composition and post-translational modifications of native brain proteins, and for proteomic analyses of native brain protein networks. The NeuroMab facility was initially funded with a five-year U24 cooperative grant from NINDS and NIMH. The initial goal of the facility for this funding period is to generate a library of novel NeuroMabs against neuronal proteins, initially focusing on membrane proteins (receptors/channels/transporters), synaptic proteins, other neuronal signaling molecules, and proteins with established links to disease states. The scope of the facility was expanded with supplements from the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research to include neurodevelopmental targets, the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research to include epigenetics targets, and NIH Office of Rare Diseases Research to include rare disease targets. These NeuroMabs will then be produced on a large scale and made available to the neuroscience research community on an inexpensive basis as tissue culture supernatants or purified immunoglobulin by Antibodies Inc. The UC Davis/NIH NeuroMab Facility makes NeuroMabs available directly to end users and is unable to accommodate sales to distributors for third party distribution. Note, NeuroMab antibodies are now offered through antibodiesinc.
