A research facility and clinical program that is dedicated to the study and the treatment of both normal aging and Alzheimer's disease. This facility will accommodate requests for its resources (for example, data or tissue) from investigators that are not funded by the ADRC. Their team is composed of experts in geriatrics, geriatric psychiatry and psychology, neurology, pathology, and radiology. All team members work to provide services to those with memory disorders. This center sponsors educational programs for healthcare professionals and community groups. Data from the ADRC cores are available to all ADRC investigators after approval from the PI who collected the data. Data generated by the ADRC cores are communicated to the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) and can be available through them. Tissue can be distributed after approval of the Tissue Allocation Committee, and can be used for further research.

A brain autopsy program developed to serve the needs of Illinois families and individuals affected by dementing diseases and to advance dementia research by providing tissue to researchers studying dementing diseases. The SIU School of Medicine (SIU-SM) Dementia Brain Autopsy Program facilitates the postmortem process for families wishing to obtain an autopsy for a loved one. A brain autopsy provides family members with accurate information regarding the exact nature of their relative's dementia. This includes information about the possibility of an inherited disorder which may affect other family members. The brain autopsy also helps clinicians improve their clinical skills by identifying the precise cause of the clinical dementia.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on February 07, 2013. A set of human neuroanatomical resources developed at the University of Hungary. Resources include an on-line brain atlas, a neuropathology atlas, functional neuroanatomy for neurologists and an extensive series of links to other neuroanatomy and neurological resources on the web. The original resources developed by this site include a set of neuropathological slides covering many neurological conditions, e.g., Alzheimer's disease, an atlas of normal human neuroanatomy based on unstained brain slices, along with histological images of brainstem and spinal cord. On-line quizzes are also provided. This is an excellent educational site and gateway to neurological resources on the web.

An open international project under the patronage of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) that aims: To analyze the brain proteome of human as well as mouse models in healthy, neurodiseased and aged status with focus on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease; To perform quantitative proteomics as well as complementary gene expression profiling on disease-related brain areas and bodily fluids; To advance knowledge of neurodiseases and aging in order to push new diagnostic approaches and medications; To exchange knowledge and data with other HUPO projects and national / international initiatives in the neuroproteomic field; To make neuroproteomic research and its results available in the scientific community and society. Recent work has shown that standards in proteomics and especially in bioinformatics are mandatory to allow comparable analyses, but still missing. To address this challenge, the HUPO BPP is closely working together with the HUPO Proteome Standards Initiative (HUPO PSI).

An open source MATLAB toolbox designed for detecting and quantifying White Matter Hyperintensities(WMH) in Alzheimer?s and aging related neurological disorders.Our toolbox provides a self-sufficient set of tools for segmenting these WMHs reliably and further quantifying their burden for down-processing studies. WMHs arise as bright regions on T2-weighted FLAIR images. They reflect comorbid neural injury or cerebral vascular disease burden. Their precise detection is of interest in Alzheimer?s disease (AD) with regard to its prognosis.
