Launched in 2005, the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) is a research campaign within the Simons Foundation''s overall suite of programs. SFARI''s mission is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders by funding, catalyzing and driving innovative research of the greatest quality and relevance. Although SFARI''s priority is to benefit individuals challenged by these disorders, its efforts are certain to yield insights into the neural mechanisms of fundamental human capabilities, thereby promoting the broader mission of the Simons Foundation to advance the frontiers of research in the basic sciences and mathematics. Autism spectrum disorders are a set of complex developmental disorders characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction, as well as restricted behaviors, interests or activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that roughly 1 in 110 children in the U.S. have autism, with many more boys affected than girls. These disorders cost the U.S. economy an estimated $35 billion dollars each year in direct care costs and lost productivity, and extract an incalculable human toll.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. The Catalog of Fishes is the authoritative reference for taxonomic fish names, featuring a searchable on-line database. The Catalog of Fishes covers more than 53,000 species and subspecies, over 10,000 genera and subgenera, and includes in excess of 16,000 bibliographic references. The Catalog of Fishes consists of three hardbound volumes of 900-1000 pages each, along with a CD-ROM. The online database is updated about every 8 weeks and is now about twice the size of the published version. It is one of the oldest and most complete databases for any large animal group. References are over 30,000. Valid species are over 30,000. This work is an essential reference for taxonomists, scientific historians, and for any specialist dealing with fishes. Entries for species, for example, consist of species/subspecies name, genus, author, date, publication, pages, figures, type locality, location of type specimen(s), current status (with references), family/subfamily, and important publication, taxonomic, or nomenclatural notes. Nearly all original descriptions have been examined, and much effort has gone into determining the location of type specimens. The Genera are updated from Eschmeyer''s 1990 Genera of Recent Fishes. Both genera and species are listed in a classification using recent taxonomic schemes. Also included are a lengthy list of museum acronyms, an interpretation of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, and Opinions of the International Commission involving fishes.

http://www.brainarchitecture.org/mouse-home

An atlas project whose goal is to enerate brainwide maps of inter-regional neural connectivity that specify the inputs and outputs of every brain region, at a "mesoscopic" level of analysis. A 3D injection viewer is used to view the mouse brain. To determine the outputs of a brain region, anterograde tracers are used which are taken up by neurons locally ("the input"), then transported actively down the axons to the "output regions." The whole brain is then sliced thinly, and each slice is digitally imaged. These 2-D images are reconstructed in 3D. The majority of the resulting 3-D brain image is unlabeled. Only the injected region and its output regions have tracer in them, allowing for identification of this small fraction of the connectivity map. This procedure is repeated identically, to account for individual variability. To determine the inputs to the same brain region as above, a retrograde tracer is injected in the same stereotaxic location ("the input"), and the process is repeated. In order to accumulate data from different mice (each of whom has a slightly different brain shape and size), 3-D spatial normalization is performed using registration algorithms. These gigapixel images of whole-brain sections can be zoomed to show individual neurons and their processes, providing a "virtual microscope." Each sampled brain is represented in about 500 images, each image showing an optical section through a 20 micron-thick slice of brain tissue. A multi-resolution viewer permits users to journey through each brain, following the pathways taken through three-dimensional brain space by tracer-labeled neuronal pathways. A key point is that at the mid-range "mesoscopic" scale, the team expects to assemble a picture of connections that are stereotypical and probably genetically determined in a species-specific manner. By dividing the volume of a hemisphere of the mouse brain into 250 equidistant, predefined grid-points, and administering four different kinds of tracer injections at each grid point -- in different animals of the same sex and age a complete wiring diagram that will be stitched together in "shotgun" fashion from the full dataset.
