InterLex Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
InterLex (RRID:SCR_016178) | ontology, data or information resource, narrative resource, controlled vocabulary, wiki | The InterLex project - a core component of SciCrunch and supported by projects such as the Neuroscience Information Framework project (NIF), the NIDDK Information Network (dkNET), and the Open Data Commons for Spinal Cord Injury - is a dynamic lexicon of biomedical terms. Unlike an encyclopedia, a lexicon provides the meaning of a term, and not all there is to know about it. InterLex is being constructed to help improve the way that biomedical scientists communicate about their data, so that information systems like NIF and dkNET can find data more easily and provide more powerful means of integrating that data across distributed resources. One of the big roadblocks to data integration in the biomedical sciences is the inconsistent use of terminology in databases and other resources such as the literature. When we use the same terms to mean different things, we cannot easily ask questions that span across multiple resources. For example, if three databases have information about what genes are expressed in cortex, but they all use different definitions of cerebral cortex, then it is hard to compare them. InterLex allows for the association of data values (i.e. the value of a field or text within a field) to terminologies enabling the crowdsourcing of data-terminology mappings. InterLex was built on the foundation of NeuroLex (see Larson and Martone 2013 Neurolex: An online framework for neuroscience knowledge. Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 7:18) and contains all of the existing NeuroLex terms. The initial entries in NeuroLex were built from the NIFSTD ontologies. NIFSTD currently has about 60,000 concepts (includes both classes and synonyms) that span gross anatomy, cells, subcellular structures, diseases, functions and techniques. InterLex models terms using primitives of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and can export directly to a variety of standard ontology formats. A primary goal of interlex is to provide a stable layer on top of the many other existing terminologies, lexicons, and ontologies (i.e. provide a way to federate ontologies for data applications) and to provide a set of inter-lexical and inter-data-lexical mappings. In the future, InterLex will support user specific namespaces so that users can customize the exact definitions or ontologies they source from, as well as the relationships on those terms. Importantly, however, InterLex enforces a simple rule which is that terms which represent the same concept under the same superclass will maintain the same identifier fragment (i.e. 'ilx_1234567'). However, each user will be able to 'fork' a term into their own namespace (e.g. http://uri.interlex.org/user/ilx_1234567). This enables the various perspectives on a term or concept to have equal space so that the full diversity of views on a term can be seen and expressed.

Dendritica: Software Tools for Studying Dendritic Signaling Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Dendritica: Software Tools for Studying Dendritic Signaling (RRID:SCR_001865) | simulation software, software resource, software application | Dendritica is a program package for relating dendritic geometry and signal propagation. The programs are based on those used for the simulations described in the following paper: Vetter, P., Roth, A. & Husser, M. (2001). Action potential propagation in dendrites depends on dendritic morphology. Journal of Neurophysiology, 85: 926-937. Dendritica can functionally be divided into three main parts: - Interactive morphological analysis and electrophysiological simulation of single cells - Automated batch simulations across a set of morphologies using the same simulation parameters - Automated analysis of batch simulation runs Dendritica requires NEURON 4.1.1 with some modifications described in Appendix 1. It was tested for NEURON 4.1.1 on Linux and SGI IRIX. Some modifications to the Dendritica code may be necessary in order to run it on older or newer versions of NEURON.

Stony Brook University Medical Center: Neuropathology Primer Resource Report Resource Website |
Stony Brook University Medical Center: Neuropathology Primer (RRID:SCR_001866) | data or information resource, narrative resource, book | This is a primer of basic neuropathology- The Central Nervous System and Skeletal Muscle. It is organized in chapters by category of disease with a separate chapter for skeletal muscle. Many of the diseases could be included in more than one chapter because of overlapping pathophysiology; in each case the disorder is included in a single section in the interest of convenience. In order to recognize pathology one must have a basic foundation in normal structure, so the first chapter is an overview of basic regional central nervous system structure and anatomy. It includes an introduction to neurohistology. Other chapters address the pathophysiology of different categories of disease and provide examples of gross and microscopic pathology when they are available. | anatomy, central nervous system, disease, gross pathology, microscopic pathology, neurohistology, neuropathology, pathology, pathophysioogy, skeletal muscle, structure | Free, Freely available | nif-0000-10438 | http://www.stonybrookmedicalcenter.org/body.cfm?id=1176 | SCR_001866 | Neuropathology Primer | 2026-08-12 10:48:29 | 0 | ||||||||

MCML and CONV (RRID:SCR_002419) | MCML, MCML & CONV, CONV | simulation software, software resource, software application | MCML is a Monte Carlo simulation program for Multi-layered Turbid Media with an infinitely narrow photon beam as the light source. The simulation is specified by an input text file called, for example, sample.mci, which can be modified by any simple text editor. The output is another text file called, for example, sample.mco. (The names are arbitrary.) CONV is a convolution program which uses the MCML output file to convolve for photon beams of any size in a Gaussian or flat field shape. CONV can provide a variety of output formats (reflectance, transmission, iso-fluence contours, etc.), which are compatible with standard graphics applications. | optical imaging |
