http://users.loni.ucla.edu/~shattuck/brainsuite/

Suite of image analysis tools designed to process magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the human head. BrainSuite provides an automatic sequence to extract genus-zero cortical surface mesh models from the MRI. It also provides a set of viewing tools for exploring image and surface data. The latest release includes graphical user interface and command line versions of the tools. BrainSuite was specifically designed to guide its users through the process of cortical surface extraction. NITRC has written the software to require minimal user interaction and with the goal of completing the entire process of extracting a topologically spherical cortical surface from a raw MR volume within several minutes on a modern workstation. The individual components of BrainSuite may also be used for soft tissue, skull and scalp segmentation and for surface analysis and visualization. BrainSuite was written in Microsoft Visual C using the Microsoft Foundation Classes for its graphical user interface and the OpenGL library for rendering. BrainSuite runs under the Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional operating systems. BrainSuite features include: * Sophisticated visualization tools, such as MRI visualization in 3 orthogonal views (either separately or in 3D view), and overlayed surface visualization of cortex, skull, and scalp * Cortical surface extraction, using a multi-stage user friendly approach. * Tools including brain surface extraction, bias field correction, voxel classification, cerebellum removal, and surface generation * Topological correction of cortical surfaces, which uses a graph-based approach to remove topological defects (handles and holes) and ensure a tessellation with spherical topology * Parameterization of generated cortical surfaces, minimizing a harmonic energy functional in the p-norm * Skull and scalp surface extraction

This resource''s long-term goal is to develop informatics methodologies and tools that will increase the creativity and productivity of neuroscience investigators, as they work together to use shared human brain mapping data to generate and test ideas far beyond those pursued by the data''s originators. This resource currently has four major projects supporting this goal: * Database tools: The goal of the NeuroServ project is to provide neuroscience researchers with automated information management tools that reduce the effort required to manage, analyze, query, view, and share their imaging data. It currently manages both structural magnetic resonance image (MRI) datasets and diffusion tensor image (DTI) datasets. NeuroServ is fully web-enabled: data entry, query, processing, reporting, and administrative functions are performed by qualified users through a web browser. It can be used as a local laboratory repository, to share data on the web, or to support a large distributed consortium. NeuroServ is based on an industrial-quality query middleware engine MRALD. NeuroServ includes a specialized neuroimaging schema and over 40 custom Java Server Pages supporting data entry, query, and reporting to help manage and explore stored images. NeuroServ is written in Java for platform independence; it also utilizes several open source components * Data sharing: DataQuest is a collaborative forum to facilitate the sharing of neuroimaging data within the neuroscience community. By publishing summaries of existing datasets, DataQuest enables researchers to: # Discover what data is available for collaborative research # Advertise your data to other researchers for potential collaborations # Discover which researchers may have the data you need # Discover which researchers are interested in your data. * Image quality: The approach to assessing the inherent quality of an image is to measure how distorted the image is. Using what are referred to as no-reference or blind metrics, one can measure the degree to which an image is distorted. * Content-based image retrieval: NIRV (NeuroImagery Retrieval & Visualization) is a work environment for advanced querying over imagery. NIRV will have a Java-based front-end for users to issue queries, run processing algorithms, review results, visualize imagery and assess image quality. NIRV interacts with an image repository such as NeuroServ. Users can also register images and will soon be able to filter searches based on image quality.

Using robotic devices to investigate human motor behavior, this group develops computational models to understand the underlying control and learning processes. By simulating novel objects or dynamic environments they study how the brain recalibrates well-learned motor skills or acquires new ones. These insights are used to design fMRI studies to investigate how these processes map onto the brain. They have developed a number of novel techniques of how to study motor control in the MRI environment, and how to analyze MRI data of the human cerebellum. They also study patients with stroke or neurological disease to further determine how the brain manages to control the body.

The primary mission of the Nancy Lurie Marks (NLM) Family Foundation is to help people with autism lead fulfilling and rewarding lives. The Foundation is committed to understanding autism from a scientific perspective, increasing opportunities and services available to the autism community and educating the public about autism. In pursuit of its mission, the Foundation develops and provides grants to programs in research, clinical care, policy, advocacy and education. Founded by Nancy Lurie Marks over 25 years ago, the NLM Family Foundation is one of the largest supporters of initiatives in these areas. The principal goal of the scientific program is to achieve a deeper understanding of the biological basis of autism, focusing on genetics, synaptic chemistry, the neurobiology of communication, systems biology and the physiology of movement. The Foundation funds peer-reviewed research, the development of collaborative investigator projects, and research fellowship programs. Through sponsorship of scientific conferences, symposia and workshops, the Foundation seeks to encourage innovation and provide a springboard to generate new avenues of shared inquiry. The NLM Family Foundation supports programs which focus on novel ways to improve the communication and social abilities of those with autism. Other programs are designed to increase advocacy for legal rights and access to support services for persons with autism, and to increase community understanding and openness to inclusion through education and documentary films.
