THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 28,2025. Project mapping whole mouse brain connectivity using serial block face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) with a specially-designed whole-brain microtome (WBM). With any luck, the whole mouse brain will be mapped ultrastructurally in the near term, which will then open the door to more serious problems; reliable automated segmentation and circuit reconstruction. These will undoubtedly require advances in machine learning methods and their application. Connectomics Software and a Multiresolution Image Viewer (MIV) is also available.

An automatic whole-brain extraction tool for T1-weighted MRI data (commonly known as skull stripping). Whole-brain segmentation is often the first component in neuroimage pipelines and therefore, its robustness is critical for the overall performance of the system. Many methods have been proposed in the literature, but they often: * work well on certain datasets but fail on others. * require case-specific parameter tuning ROBEX aims for robust skull-stripping across datasets with no parameter settings. It fits a triangular mesh, constrained by a shape model, to the probabilistic output of a supervised brain boundary classifier. Because the shape model cannot perfectly accommodate unseen cases, a small free deformation is subsequently allowed. The deformation is optimized using graph cuts.

http://www.semel.ucla.edu/creativity/

The purpose of this center is to study the molecular, cellular, systems and cognitive mechanisms that result in cognitive enhancements and explain unusual levels of performance in gifted individuals, including extraordinary creativity. Additionally, by understating the mechanisms responsible for enhancements in performance we may be better suited to intervene and reverse disease states that result in cognitive deficits. One of the key topics addressed by the Center is the biological basis of cognitive enhancements, a topic that can be studied in human subjects and animal models. In the past much of the focus in the brain sciences has been on the study of brain mechanisms that degrade cognitive performance (for example, on mutations or other lesions that cause cognitive deficits). The Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity at UCLA enables an interdisciplinary team of leading scientists to advance knowledge about the biological bases of creativity. Starting with a pilot project program, a series of investigations was launched, spanning disciplines from basic molecular biology to cognitive neuroscience. Because the concept of creativity is multifaceted, initial efforts targeted refinement of the component processes necessary to generate novel, useful cognitive products. The identified core cognitive processes: 1.) Novelty Generation the ability to flexibly and adaptively generate products that are unique; 2.) Working Memory and Declarative Memory the ability to maintain, and then use relevant information to guide goal-directed performance, along with the capacity to store and retrieve this information; and 3.) Response Inhibition the ability to suppress habitual plans and substitute alternate actions in line with changing problem-solving demands. To study the basic mechanisms underlying these complex brain functions we use translational strategies. Starting from foundational studies in basic neuroscience, we forged an interdisciplinary strategy that permits the most advanced techniques for genetic manipulation and basic neurobiological research to be applied in close collaboration with human studies that converge on the same core cognitive processes. Our integrated research program aims to reveal the genetic architecture and fundamental brain mechanisms underlying creative cognition. The work holds enormous promise for both enhancing healthy cognitive performance and designing new treatments for diverse cognitive disorders. Sponsors: The Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity was inspired by the vision and generosity of Michael Tennenbaum.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 31, 2022. Center focused on the development of computational biological atlases of different populations, subjects, modalities, and spatio-temporal scales with 3 types of resources: (1) Stand-alone computational software tools (image and volume processing, analysis, visualization, graphical workflow environments). (2) Infrastructure Resources (Databases, computational Grid, services). (3) Web-services (web-accessible resources for processing, validation and exploration of multimodal/multichannel data including clinical data, imaging data, genetics data and phenotypic data). The CCB develops novel mathematical, computational, and engineering approaches to map biological form and function in health and disease. CCB computational tools integrate neuroimaging, genetic, clinical, and other relevant data to enable the detailed exploration of distinct spatial and temporal biological characteristics. Generalizable mathematical approaches are developed and deployed using Grid computing to create practical biological atlases that describe spatiotemporal change in biological systems. The efforts of CCB make possible discovery-oriented science and the accumulation of new biological knowledge. The Center has been divided into cores organized as follows: - Core 1 is focused on mathematical and computational research. Core 2 is involved in the development of tools to be used by Core 3. Core 3 is composed of the driving biological projects; Mapping Genomic Function, Mapping Biological Structure, and Mapping Brain Phenotype. - Cores 4 - 7 provide the infrastructure for joint structure within the Center as well as the development of new approaches and procedures to augment the research and development of Cores 1-3. These cores are: (4)Infrastructure and Resources, (5) Education and Training, (6) Dissemination, and (7) Administration and Management. The main focus of the CCB is on the brain, and specifically on neuroimaging. This area has a long tradition of sophisticated mathematical and computational techniques. Nevertheless, new developments in related areas of mathematics and computational science have emerged in recent years, some from related application areas such as Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, and Image Processing, as well as from Computational Mathematics and the Computational Sciences. We are confident that many of these ideas can be applied beneficially to neuroimaging.

http://www.genepaint.org/MapP56_01.htm

Abbreviated reference atlas for the P56 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 is permitted between planes of sectioning thus allowing the most appropriate plane to be selected. Abbreviations are found in a list accessed by clicking the see abbreviation link at the bottom of each map. Alternatively, passing the cursor directly across the abbreviation on the map will result in the appearance of the appropriate term in the rider on top of the map panel. 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://www.nitrc.org/projects/rmdtitemplate/

A population-specific DTI template for young adolescent Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta) monkeys using 271 high-quality scans. Using such a large number of animals in generating a template allows it to account for variability in the species. Their DTI template is based on the largest number of animals ever used in generating a computational brain template. It is anticipated that their DTI template will help facilitate voxel-based and tract specific WM analyses in non-human primate species, which in turn may increase our understanding of brain function, development, and evolution.

http://transgenicmouse.alleninstitute.org/

A comprehensive characterization of expression patterns of genetically-controlled markers or tool genes in the brains of transgenic mice generated by the Allen Institute as well as the broad scientific community. Providing standardized, detailed, anatomical profiling of transgene expression throughout the brain, this dataset is intended to reveal the potential of each transgenic mouse line and help researchers choose the appropriate tools for their studies. Transgenic mice are valuable tools to label selective neuronal or non-neuronal populations, modulate gene expression in these cells or manipulate activity of these cells for the study of neural circuits and brain function. The Allen Institute has launched a project to generate a variety of transgenic mouse lines, mainly using the Cre/lox system, to express fluorescent probes or neuronal activity manipulating tools in a variety of cell types in the brain. At the same time, utilizing Allen Institute's unique high-throughput capability, a pipeline is set up to characterize the ability in directing cell type specific expression in the brains of various transgenic mice generated by the Allen Institute as well as the broad scientific community. Through standardized, detailed, anatomical profiling of the transgene expression in the entire mouse brain, this dataset is intended to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the potential of each transgenic mouse line and help researchers choose the appropriate transgenic tools to study the function of different regions and/or cell types of the brain. This data release adds additional data to the existing set of new Cre-reporter lines generated at the Allen Institute that have stronger expression than other commonly used reporter lines are used to characterize approximately a dozen Cre-driver lines. The types of characterization data include digitized images (of sections sampling the entire brain) of colorimetric in situ hybridization (CISH), double fluorescent in situ hybridization (DFISH), native fluorescence of XFP (generic term for fluorescent proteins of different colors), and immunohistochemical (IHC) labeling of marker genes.

http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ServicesAtlases/Macaque

A reference atlas of standard macaque monkey magnetic resonance images. The template brain volume that offers a common stereotaxic reference frame to localize anatomical and functional information in an organized and reliable way for comparison across individual macaque monkeys and studies. We have used MRI volumes from a group of 25 normal adult macaque monkeys (18 Macaca fascicularis, 7 Macaca mulatta) to create the individual atlas. Thus, the atlas does not rely on the anatomy of a single subject, but instead depends on nonlinear normalization of numerous macaque brains mapped to an average template image that is faithful to the location of anatomical structures. Tools for registering a native MRI to the MNI macaque atlas can be found in the Software section. Viewing the atlas and associated volumes online requires Java browser support. Additionally, you may download the atlas and associated files in your chosen format.
