The Mission of the Sarah Jane Brain Project is to create a model system of care for children and young adults suffering from all Pediatric Acquired Brain Injuries in order to advance our knowledge of the brain fifty years over the next five years! As a father of a child suffering from a Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury (PABI), I have spent countless hours searching the internet and speaking with Sarah Jane's development team (doctors, therapists and other professionals) trying to improve the development of my daughter. What I found was that while there are a countless number of wonderful and informative prevention sites for Shaken Baby Syndrome and advocacy sites for brain injuries, there is no one centralized resource for research and rehabilitation for PABI. Furthermore, many of the issues families and children face are the same whether the brain injury was caused by a car crash, a sports-related concussion, an assault or by a tumor. No one person or organization has all the answers to the questions that parents of children suffering from PABI face. Yet through my own experience, I learned that the coordination and dissemination of Sarah Jane's medical and therapy records and data in an orderly manner greatly helps her development team better help her. These wonderful individuals are constantly looking for additional ways to improve Sarah Jane's progress by speaking with their colleagues, reading literature on brain injury, and collaborating with other parents. But they all admit there is a considerable amount that still needs to be learned about the human brain, particularly the developing brain. The field of neuroscience today is similar to the computer science field of the 1950s and 1960s: you have a diverse group of very smart people working independently of one another throughout the United States and the world, yet few know what the others are doing behind closed doors. Fast- forward 50 years and many of the breakthroughs in the computer industry have been made utilizing the principles of open source a research method that promotes free and open access to the design and production of goods and knowledge. Its use was made well-known through the creation of the Linux computer operating system, in which professionals share knowledge to make corrections and fix problems. Open source is commonly used by millions of people today through the Wikipedia online free encyclopedia, a collection of public entries on established subjects that allows anyone to make additions or corrections. The National Institute of Mental Health launched The Human Brain Project in 1993 to develop and support the new science of neuro-informatics. From this initiative, it became obvious what needed to be done. That's why we created the Sarah Jane Brain Virtual Center of Excellence an ecosystem for professionals and families dealing with PABI around the world and a vehicle to help implement the PABI Plan by establishing a model system for PABI.

http://kimlab.io/brain-map/atlas/

Website to visualize and share anatomical labels. Franklin and Paxinos (FP) based anatomical labels in Allen Common Coordinate Framework (CCF). Cell type specific transgenic mice and MRI atlas were used to adjust and further segment labels. New segmentations were created in dorsal striatum using cortico-striatal connectivity data. Anatomical labels were digitized based on Allen ontology, and web-interface was created for easy visualization. These labels provide resource to isolate and identify mouse brain anatomical structures. Open source data sharing will facilitate further refinement of anatomical labels and integration of data interpretation within single anatomical platform.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on April 16, 2013. The resource redirects to its parent, OSSP. Project seeking to increase the transparency and accessibility of the scientific research process by connecting researchers with an additional source of funding - microinvestments received from the broader online community. In exchange for these public investments, researchers will maintain research logs detailing the play-by-play progress made in their project, as well as publishing all of their data in a public database under a science commons license. These research projects, in turn, will serve to continually update a research-based neuroscience-based human brain & body curriculum.

http://chronux.org

Open-source software package for the analysis of neural data. Chronux routines may be employed in the analysis of both point process and continuous data, ranging from preprocessing, exploratory and confirmatory analysis. The current release is implemented as a MATLAB library. Chronux offers several routines for computing spectra and coherences for both point and continuous processes. In addition, it also offers several general purpose routines that were found useful such as a routine for extracting specified segments from data, or binning spike time data with bins of a specified size. Since the data can be continuous valued, point process times, or point processes that are binned, methods that apply to all these data types are given in routines whose names end with ''''c'''' for continuous, ''''pb'''' for binned point processes, and ''''pt'''' for point process times. Thus, mtspectrumc computes the spectrum of continuous data, mtspectrumpb computes a spectrum for binned point processes, and mtspectrumpt compute spectra for data consisting of point process times. Hybrid routines are also available and similarly named - for instance coherencycpb computes the coherency between continuous and binned point process data.
