THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. This site aims to provide a discussion and source list for connectionist and neural network models of disorders associated with mental or brain conditions. Recent connectionist and neural network models of behavior, information processing patterns, and brain activity present in people with cognitive, affective, brain, and behavioral disorders are reviewed on this web site. Ways that assumptions regarding normal and disordered behavior may be represented in connectionist models are discussed for features of various disorders. Similarities and differences between the models and criteria for their evaluation are presented, and suggestions for inclusion of information which may help to make these models more directly comparable in the future are considered. References to Connectionist Models of Cognitive, Affective, Brain, and Behavioral Disorders include: General Neural Network Information Reviews, General Introductions, and Calls for More Connectionist Models of Mental Disorders Models of Psychopathologies and Psychiatric Disorders Models of Cognitive, Affective, Brain, and Behavioral Disorders Not Associated with Psychopathology Additionally, Web Sites for Neural Network Modelers of Disorder are provided.

http://www.scripps.edu/np/inia/index.html

Consortium set out to identify the molecular, cellular, and behavioral neuroadaptations that occur in the brain reward circuits associated with the extended amygdala and its connections. It is hypothesized that genetic differences and/or neuroadaptations in this circuitry are responsible for the individual differences in vulnerability to the excessive consumption of alcohol. Chronic exposure to alcohol results in neuroadaptive phenomena, including tolerance, sensitization, dependence, withdrawal, loss of control of drinking, and relapse that contribute to the development of excessive alcohol consumption. The INIA has the following goals: 1) To establish animal models to study specific neurobiological targets for vulnerability that lead to excessive consumption of alcohol at the molecular, cellular and neural circuit level of analysis, 2) To identify specific clusters of genes whose expression is regulated by alcohol and which are responsible for any given model of excessive alcohol consumption using gene expression arrays, differential display, mutagenesis directed at specific brain areas, and the development of new informatics tools to analyze and interpret gene expression, cellular circuitry and brain circuitry data with the use of transgenic and knockout approaches, and 3) To attract new and innovative investigators to the field of alcohol research by recruiting individuals for development of U01 grants and pilot projects and by developing online interactive capacity among INIA scientists and others, and by making the neuroinformatics integrated data sets accessible, searchable and interactive with other databases for all scientists interested in alcoholism research. The structure of INIA is envisioned as two domains, Dependence-induced drinking and Binge drinking, comprised of multiple U01 research grants. The flow of information within each domain moves from molecular, to cellular, to neurocircuitry levels of analysis. These U01s share information with the core facilities, which act as data depositories. The Administrative Core coordinates the flow of information among the Domains and Cores and disseminates the information back to the U01s. A Pilot Project program will identify exciting new areas for research and the continual recruitment of new investigators to the alcohol field. The INIA program is directed by an Administrative Core in close cooperation with the Animal Models, Gene Array and Neurocircuitry Cores via a Steering Committee and with the continual advice of the Scientific Advisory Committee.

Tool that provides an interactive method to examine quantitative relationships between brain regions defined by different digital atlases or parcellation methods. Its current focus is for human brain imaging, though the techniques generalize to other domains. The method offers a quantitative answer to the nomenclature problem in neuroscience by comparing brain parts on the basis of their geometrical definitions rather than on the basis of name alone. Thus far these tools have been used to quantitatively compare eight distinct parcellations of the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM) single-subject template brain, each created using existing atlasing methods. This resources provides measures of global and regional similarity, and offers visualization techniques that allow users to quickly identify the correspondences (or lack of correspondences) between regions defined by different atlases.
