MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences stands at the nexus of neuroscience, biology and psychology. We combine these disciplines to study specific aspects of the brain and mind including: vision, movement systems, learning and memory, neural and cognitive development, language and reasoning. Together, MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences offers extraordinary learning opportunities for undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students. Because the human brain is immensely complex in many different ways at once, we pursue every level of inquiry - from molecules to cells to circuits to the mystery of the mind itself. As we study its diseases and disorders, its development and daily feats, like vision, speech, movement and memory, we also integrate methods and insights from every area of brain research. This unusual diversity of expertise fosters an intensely creative atmosphere that sparks startling collaborations. Already known for remarkable contributions to the field, our faculty members continually stretch the limits of knowledge, and bring the same passion to educating our exceptional students. A key part of the BCS mission is to offer its graduate and undergraduate students an educational experience of the highest quality. Our graduate students benefit from the impressive range of our program, and from the ability to participate in research projects with faculty members who are leaders in their fields. The department's undergraduate program, which includes both neuroscience and cognitive science, is one of the fastest-growing majors at MIT.

Tool for extensively testing the discriminatory power of biologically relevant gene sets in microarray data classification. While the user can work with different gene set collections and several microarray data files to configure specific classification experiments, the tool is able to run several tests in parallel. It is able to render valuable information for diagnostic analyses and clinical management decisions based on systematically evaluating custom hypothesis over different data sets using complementary classifiers, a key aspect in clinical research.

The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology strives to maintain excellence in the areas of research, teaching and service to the School, University, and Community. The Department offers a program of didactic course work and research training leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmacology, either through the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences (IGPBS) or through the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). Pharmacology and Toxicology have similar basic principles and often utilize similar experimental methods and approaches to address a wide range of biomedical and health-related questions. Both are sciences that are basic not only to medicine, but also to pharmacy, nursing, dentistry, public health, and veterinary medicine. Additional programs are offered for the Bachelor of Science, or a combined Bachelor of Science / Master of Science in Pharmacology and Toxicology, and a Master of Arts in Pharmacology. The graduate programs are structured to provide the candidate with a broad training in basic areas of pharmacology as well as a degree of expertise in one research area including: Neuropharmacology, Psychopharmacology, Toxicology, Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacology

Wikikidney.org is an effort to prevent kidney diseases and achieve better outcomes in those who have end stage renal disease. Our mission is to use this medium to make the public more aware of kidney disease in a sincere effort to prevent it when we can, and to help our colleagues achieve good outcomes in those who already have end stage renal disease. Our role is to provide as much information as possible to patients, professionals and the general public, with the hopes that this education will be a motivating factor in making the necessary changes to prevent or stall chronic kidney disease. After nearly two decades of seeing patients with end stage renal disease, it is apparent that much of what we deal with can be delayed or prevented altogether. Several medical trials and innovations in the last several years have confirmed these observations, and form the basis of this website. A major element in preventing renal illness is simply early detection, and for this one needs education. As the Internet expands and becomes more and more a tool of everyday life, we will have the ability to access and distribute information like no other generation before us. Qualified readers are encouraged to contribute to existing articles and to create articles of their own.

http://brainarchitecture.org/

Evolving portal that will provide interactive tools and resources to allow researchers, clinicians, and students to discover, analyze, and visualize what is known about the brain's organization, and what the evidence is for that knowledge. This project has a current experimental focus: creating the first brainwide mesoscopic connectivity diagram in the mouse. Related efforts for the human brain currently focus on literature mining and an Online Brain Atlas Reconciliation Tool. The primary goal of the Brain Architecture Project is to assemble available knowledge about the structure of the nervous system, with an ultimate emphasis on the human CNS. Such information is currently scattered in research articles, textbooks, electronic databases and datasets, and even as samples on laboratory shelves. Pooling the knowledge across these heterogeneous materials - even simply getting to know what we know - is a complex challenge that requires an interdisciplinary approach and the contributions and support of the greater community. Their approach can be divided into 4 major thrusts: * Literature Curation and Text Mining * Computational Analysis * Resource Development * Experimental Efforts

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. The mission of the Canadian Virtual Brain Tumour Bank (CVBTB) is to facilitate clinical, molecular and translational research through the provision of well-characterized tissue linked to clinical data and to become a standardized national tissue resource whereby scientific needs are met, addressed and accelerated through a common public accessible core the CVBTB. Recognizing the need to encourage systemic banking of brain tumor tissues throughout the country and to link banks of brain tumor tissue samples with academic and scientific institutions that require these samples, the CVBTB was established. Under the sponsorship of Schering Plough Canada Inc. and in association with the Canadian Brain Tumour Consortium (CBTC), the CVBTB looks to act as a resource for all researchers to provide them with information on the types of brain tumor tissue samples available and to direct them to the tumor tissue banking sites holding these samples. The CVBTB also looks to provide information on standard operating procedures regarding aspects of tumor tissue banking such as tissue accrual, storage and shipment and the processing of blood samples such as serum and lymphocytes. The CVBTB currently consists of four brain tumour tissue banking sites (Toronto Western Hospital - Toronto, Ontario; London Health Sciences Centre - London, Ontario; McGill University - Montreal, Quebec; University of Calgary - Calgary, Alberta) and is continuously looking for more institutions to be a part of the CVBTB. If your institution would like to become a part of the CVBTB, please contact the CVBTB coordinator.
