Annotated magnetic resonance brain images, both slices and surface views, normalized to Talairach space, along with annotations and a nice tutorial on image normalization. A viewer for MRI images (MRicro) is available and is described in a separate entry. Series of coronal, axial and sagittal brain slices along with some rendered volumes with major brain structures delineated. Slices are presented as static series with partial overlap of slices, so they are not suitable for 3d reconstruction. This neuroanatomy atlas shows regions on normalized MRI scans. Normalization is the process of warping a brain to match a standard size, orientation and shape of other brains. You can normalize MRI scans using programs like AIR, FLIRT or SPM. Once normalized, the overall shape of your MRI scan will approximately match those in this atlas. However, normalization preserves the unique sulcal features of each brain, so there will be some variation between your image and the images shown in this atlas. There is a great deal of individual variability even after normalization, so any atlas is only a rough guide to the shape and location of structures in an individuals brain. As I have noted before, secondary and tertiary sulci are not found in all individuals (Ono et al. 1990, Atlas of Cerebral Sulci). Another benefit of normalizing brains is it makes it easy to complete an accurate "scalp stripping" with brain extracting software (my MRIcro software implements Steve Smith's BET for this task). You can then create a useful volume rendering of the cortical surface. Typically, it is much easier to identify cortical sulci and gyri by looking at a rendered image of the brain's surface. This atlas shows you how to recognize these landmarks on a rendered MRI scan.

A stereotaxic probabilistic white matter atlas that fuses DTI-based white matter information with an anatomical template (ICBM-152). This atlas is based on probabilistic tensor maps obtained from 81 normal subjects acquired under an initiative of the International Consortium of Brain Mapping (ICBM). The subjects were normal right-handed adults ranging from 18 to 59 years of age. A hand-segmented white matter parcellation map was created from this averaged map. This map can be used for automated white matter parcellation. The precision of the affine-based image normalization and automated parcellation was measured for a group of normal subjects using manually defined anatomical landmarks. The raw diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) were first co-registered to one of the least diffusion-weighted images and corrected for subject motion with 6-mode rigid transformation with Automated Image Registgration (AIR). The average of all DWIs (aDWI) was calculated and used for a DTI-based anatomic image. For anatomical images to drive the normalization process, aDWIs were used. These images were normalized to the template (ICBM-152) using a 12-mode affine or 4th order polynomial non-linear transformation of AIR. The transformation matrix was then applied to the calculated diffusion tensor field. In the white matter parcellation map (WMPM), deep white matter regions were manually segmented into various anatomic structures based on fiber orientation information.

http://www.icn.ucl.ac.uk/motorcontrol/imaging/propatlas.htm

A probabilistic atlas of the cerebellar lobules in the space defined by the MNI152 template. The anatomical definitions are based on the fMRI atlas of an individual cerebellum by Schmahmann et al. (2000). To obtain a representative anatomical atlas, we separately masked the lobules on T1-weighted MRI scans (1mm isotropic resolution) of 20 healthy young participants (10 male, 10 female, average age 23.7 yrs). Using a different set of 23 participants, we also masked the deep cerebellar nucelei. These cerebella were then aligned using different commonly used normalization algorithms. The resultant probabilistic maps allow for the valid assignment of functional activations to specific cerebellar lobules and the nuclei, while providing a quantitative measure of the certainty of such assignments. Furthermore, maximum probability maps derived from these atlases can be used to define regions of interest (ROIs) in functional neuroimaging and neuroanatomical research. The atlas is included in the newer releases of FSL and the Anatomy toolbox. More version of the atlases for use with MRICroN are also available.

Atlas presents cytoarchitectonic maps in several coordinate spaces, such as MNI colin27, MNI152, and freesurfer. These maps originate from peer-reviewed probability maps that define both cortical and subcortical brain regions and account for the brain's inter-individual variability by analyzing data from multiple post-mortem samples. For a whole-brain parcellation, the available probability maps are combined into a maximum probability map by considering for each voxel the probability of all cytoarchitectonic brain regions, and determining the most probable assignment. Atlas stands as reference atlas for the Human Brain Project and is embedded within the European research infrastructure platform, EBRAINS.

Database designed for web-based examination of the human erythroid transcriptome. The database is organized to provide a cytogenetic band position, a unique name as well as a concise annotation for each entry. Search queries may be performed by name, keyword or cytogenetic location. Search results are linked to primary sequence data and three major human genome browsers for access to information considered current at the time of each search. Hembase provides interested scientists and clinical hematologists with a genome-based approach toward the study of erythroid biology. Red blood cells in the circulation arise from hematopoietic stem cells that proliferate as erythroid progenitors and differentiate into erythroid precursor cells in response to the hormone erythropoietin. Messenger RNA was isolated from those cells and used to generate gene libraries. Sequencing several thousand expressed sequence tags (EST) from those libraries was then performed. Those EST and sequences encoding several hundred additional genes with known expression in erythroid cells are compiled here as a database of human erythroid gene activity. The database is organized and linked according to the location of these sequences within the human genome., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 15,2026.

http://www.drugabuse.gov/about/organization/CEWG/

A network composed of researchers from major metropolitan areas of the United States and selected foreign countries which meet semiannually to discuss the current epidemiology of drug abuse. The primary mission of the Work Group is to provide ongoing community-level surveillance of drug abuse through analysis of quantitative and qualitative research data. Through this program the CEWG provides current descriptive and analytical information regarding the nature and patterns of drug abuse, emerging trends, characteristics of vulnerable populations and social and health consequences. Reports Reports are available from the biannual meetings at which the network members discuss current and emerging problems of substance abuse. At the meetings, CEWG members present data on drug abuse from a variety of city, State, Federal, and other sources. These data are enhanced with information gathered through ethnographic research, focus groups, interviews, and other qualitative methods. This integration of quantitative with qualitative data provides invaluable insight into emerging drug use trends. Book In 1998, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) published the first edition of Assessing Drug Abuse Within and Across Communities: Community Epidemiology Surveillance Networks on Drug Abuse to share information on establishing drug abuse epidemiology networks at community and State levels. Its purpose is to provide guidelines for establishing epidemiology networks to monitor and assess drug abuse patterns and trends and emerging drug problems at community and State levels to provide a foundation of information for public health response. The second edition differs from the first in format. For each data source, there is a description of the source and database, followed by guidelines on how to access the data (including Web sites) and what to request, and examples of how the data have been used by epidemiology work groups or Federal agencies. NIDA hopes that this revised guide is helpful to agencies, organizations, and researchers that are involved in or wish to establish epidemiology networks in their communities or States.

Produce resources to unravel the interface between insulin action, insulin resistance and the genetics of type 2 diabetes including an annotated public database, standardized protocols for gene expression and proteomic analysis, and ultimately diabetes-specific and insulin action-specific DNA chips for investigators in the field. The project aims to identify the sets of the genes involved in insulin action and the predisposition to type 2 diabetes, as well as the secondary changes in gene expression that occur in response to the metabolic abnormalities present in diabetes. There are five major and one pilot project involving human and rodent tissues that are designed to: * Create a database of the genes expressed in insulin-responsive tissues, as well as accessible tissues, that are regulated by insulin, insulin resistance and diabetes. * Assess levels and patterns of gene expression in each tissue before and after insulin stimulation in normal and genetically-modified rodents; normal, insulin resistant and diabetic humans, and in cultured and freshly isolated cell models. * Correlate the level and patterns of expression at the mRNA and/or protein level with the genetic and metabolic phenotype of the animal or cell. * Generate genomic sequence from a panel of humans with type 2 diabetes focusing on the genes most highly regulated by insulin and diabetes to determine the range of sequence and expression variation in these genes and the proteins they encode, which might affect the risk of diabetes or insulin resistance. The DGAP project will define: * the normal anatomy of gene expression, i.e. basal levels of expression and response to insulin. * the morbid anatomy of gene expression, i.e., the impact of diabetes on expression patterns and the insulin response. * the extent to which genetic variability might contribute to the alterations in expression or to diabetes itself.

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/imgt/hla/

Database for sequences of the human major histocompatibility complex (HLA) and includes the official sequences for the WHO Nomenclature Committee For Factors of the HLA System. It currently contains 9,310 allele sequences (2013) along with detailed information concerning the material from which the sequence was derived and data on the validation of the sequences. It is established procedure for authors to submit the sequences directly to the IMGT/HLA Database for checking and assignment of an official name prior to publication, this avoids the problems associated with renaming published sequences and the confusion of multiple names for the same sequence. The need for reasonably rapid publication of new HLA allele sequences has necessitated an annual meeting of the WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System. Additionally they now publish monthly HLA nomenclature updates both in journals and online to provide quick and easy access to new sequence information. The IMGT/HLA Database is part of the international ImMunoGeneTics project. In collaboration with the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) and European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) they have developed an Oracle database to house the HLA sequences in such a way as to allow users to present complex queries about the sequence, sequence features, references, contacts and allele designations to the database via a graphical user interface over the web. The IMGT/HLA Database Submission Tool allows direct submission of sequences to the WHO HLA Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System. The IMGT/HLA Database provides an FTP site for the retrieval of sequences in a number of pre-formatted files.
