THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. An autopsy-based, research-devoted brain bank, biobank and biospecimen bank that derives its human donors from the Arizona Study of Aging and Neurodegenerative Disease (AZSAND), a longitudinal clinicopathological study of the health and diseases of elderly volunteers living in Maricopa county and metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona. Their function is studied during life and their organs and tissue after death. To date, they have concentrated their studies on Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, heart disease and cancer. They share the banked tissue, biomaterials and biospecimens with qualified researchers worldwide. Registrants with suitable scientific credentials will be allowed access to a database of available tissue linked to relevant clinical information, and will allow tissue requests to be initiated., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://www.slu.edu/x23032.xml

A brain bank which provides brain tissue for interdisciplinary research in neurochemical, anatomical, epidemiological and clinical aspects of Alzheimer's disease. It provides brain tissue from Alzheimer's patients and healthy elderly brain donors to investigators who are helping further the understanding of Alzheimer's disease through research. It also gives family members of Alzheimer's patients the opportunity to obtain a confirmed diagnosis through brain autopsy. Through this program, families of individuals with either a clinical diagnosis, or those with suspected Alzheimer's disease, grant permission for a brain autopsy to be performed immediately after death.

Portal touching on all aspects of neuroscience from molecules to the mind, from the laboratory bench to the patient's bedside. Members study the normal structure and workings of the nervous system, its development, its cognitive functions, its derangement by disease and injury, and the means of its repair and protection. Projects span traditional disciplinary boundaries, as do graduate and postdoctoral training programs. Its major achievement has been to foster and improve multidisciplinary collaborations which has increasingly permitted the identification of pathogenic mechanisms and the formulation of new therapeutic approaches.

http://www.uky.edu/coa/ADC

Alzheimer's Disease Center that serves as the focal point for all Alzheimer's disease-related activities at the University of Kentucky and the Commonwealth of Kentucky providing an environment and core resources that catalyze innovative research, outreach, education, and clinical programs. Their ADC plans to build on its historic strengths and capitalize on emerging opportunities to provide an infrastructure that supports research designed to translate knowledge into therapeutic strategies for AD. They focus on two interrelated themes: Transitions and Translation. Their overall emphasis is to more effectively bridge the gap between basic research and clinical studies by facilitating translational efforts. They also carefully characterize transitions across the spectrum of cognitive impairment (normal/ preclinical AD/ MCI/ dementia), with focus on definition of early disease, and continue to support neuropathology as the bedrock of our center. The Alzheimer Disease Center's 2006-2011 grant award from the National Institute on Aging consists of five cores: * Administrative Core * Clinical Core * Biostatistics and Data Management Core * Neuropathology Core * Education & Information Transfer Core

http://nac.spl.harvard.edu/

Biomedical Technology Resource Center that develops image processing and analysis techniques for basic and clinical neurosciences. The NAC research approach emphasizes both specific core technologies and collaborative application projects. The core activity of the center is the development of algorithms and techniques for postprocessing of imaging data. New segmentation techniques aid identification of brain structures and disease. Registration methods are used for relating image data to specific patient anatomy or one set of images to another. Visualization tools allow the display of complex anatomical and quantitative information. High-performance computing hardware and associated software techniques further accelerate algorithms and methods. Digital anatomy atlases are developed for the support of both interactive and algorithmic computational tools. Although the emphasis of the NAC is on the dissemination of concepts and techniques, specific elements of the core software technologies have been made available to outside researchers or the community at large. The NAC's core technologies serve the following major collaborative projects: Alzheimer's disease and the aging brain, morphometric measures in schizophrenia and schizotypal disorder, quantitative analysis of multiple sclerosis, and interactive image-based planning and guidance in neurosurgery. One or more NAC researchers have been designated as responsible for each of the core technologies and the collaborative projects.
