The Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation established the RLS Foundation Brain Bank at the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center in 2000. A part of the Harvard University medical system, the Center (housed at McLean Hospital and commonly referred to as The Brain Bank) began in 1978 as a centralized resource for the collection and distribution of human brain specimens for research and diagnostic studies. Over the years, hundreds of scientists from the nation''s top research and medical centers have requested tissue from The Brain Bank for their investigations. Because most of these studies can be carried out on a very small amount of tissue, each donated brain provides a large number of samples for many researchers. For comparative purposes, brain tissue is needed from healthy individuals, as well as from those who had RLS. When possible, a small portion of frozen tissue taken from each brain donated to the RLS Foundation Collection will be kept available to serve as a resource for future genetic testing. The process of donating your brain to RLS research is broken down into 5 steps. To view these steps, please read our Process Steps in RLS Brain Tissue Collection. To read about the process of donating brain tissue for research, visit our Brain Bank Tissue Donation page.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. A service and research oriented network of statewide regional brain bank sites. The intent of the brain bank program is to study brains of persons clinically diagnosed with dementia and provide tissue for research after their deaths. Mt. Sinai Medical Center contracts annually with the State of Florida to operate the primary brain bank. Coordinators at regional brain bank sites in Orlando, Tampa and Pensacola assist in recruiting participants and act as liaisons between the brain bank and participant families. Alzheimer's disease respite care program providers, memory disorder clinics, and model day care programs also recruit brain bank participants. The Florida Brain Bank supports collaborative research programs related to Alzheimer's disease and other degenerative disorders of the brain.

http://www.icn.ucl.ac.uk/motorcontrol/

Using robotic devices to investigate human motor behavior, this group develops computational models to understand the underlying control and learning processes. By simulating novel objects or dynamic environments they study how the brain recalibrates well-learned motor skills or acquires new ones. These insights are used to design fMRI studies to investigate how these processes map onto the brain. They have developed a number of novel techniques of how to study motor control in the MRI environment, and how to analyze MRI data of the human cerebellum. They also study patients with stroke or neurological disease to further determine how the brain manages to control the body.

http://phenotype.mc.vanderbilt.edu/

Collaborative environment of building and validating electronic phenotype algorithms using electronic medical records (EMRs) and natural language processing (NLP) for use in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). On this site you can: View existing algorithms, Enter or create new algorithms, Collaborate with others to create or review algorithms, View implementation details for existing algorithms. The Electronic Medical Records and Genomics Network (eMERGE) has investigated whether data captured through routine clinical care using electronic medical records (EMRs) can identify disease phenotypes with sufficient positive and negative predictive values for use in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Most EMRs captured key information (diagnoses, medications, laboratory tests) used to define phenotypes in a structured format; in addition, natural language processing has also been shown to improve case identification rates. PheKB is an outgrowth of that validation effort. Phenotype algorithms can be viewed by data modalities or methods used: CPT codes, ICD 10 codes, ICD 9 codes, Laboratories, Medications, Vital Signs, Natural Language Processing Algorithms can also be viewed by: * Implementation results (positive predictive value, sensitivity, publications) * Institution * Work Group

https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/neurosurgery/specialties/neurooncology.aspx

Collaborative neuro-oncology research program with a tissue repository (tumor bank) containing a wide range of clinical specimens, which they make available to researchers in order to study the effects of new drugs on a large number and wide range of tumor specimens. They provide highly coordinated, complex care in neurosurgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, and neurology to patients afflicted with tumors of the brain and spine by combining the newest technologies and treatments available anywhere in the world. The program is formed from a multidisciplinary group with a goal of helping patients navigate the complex issues surrounding brain and spinal cancer care. The researchers are working to increase the number of targets that could be considered for anti-angiogenesis therapy. Many of their studies focus on the blood vessel cells (endothelial cells) themselves, which, unlike tumor cells, rarely mutate and so might be less likely to become resistant to therapy and are also more easily reached through the bloodstream. Their researchers are also attempting to better understand the changes in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that are associated with fluid accumulation and brain swelling (edema) in neuro-oncology patients. Normal brain tissue is shielded from the rest of the body by the BBB. This barrier is composed of very tight blood vessels that prevent most substances from entering the brain. Brain tumors have a leaky BBB ����?? this feature can be used to identify tumors on MRI scans. They have identified specific molecules that appear to be associated with the leaky, abnormal vessels while the normal blood vessels with intact BBB produce these molecules at very low levels or not at all. Inhibiting the function of these molecules may help control or prevent disruption of the BBB and limit cerebral edema in brain tumor patients, as well as patients suffering from stroke or traumatic brain injury.
