A multidisciplinary project focused on the process leading to epilepsy, epileptogenesis, in adults. Their main hypothesis is that there are combinations of various causes, acting in parallel and/or in succession, that lead to epileptogenesis and development of seizures. Their central premise and vision is that a combinatorial approach is necessary to identify appropriate biomarkers and develop effective antiepileptogenic therapeutics. The project will focus on: * identifying novel biomarkers and their combinations for epileptogenesis after potentially epileptogenic brain insults in clinically relevant animal models, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and status epilepticus (SE); * exploring multiple basic mechanisms of epileptogenesis and their mutual interactions; * and translating these findings towards the clinic by validating biomarkers in human samples accessible to the consortium.

A collaborative care and research initiative with a focus on prevention and treatment of Intellectual disability (ID) that is due to inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), which can be treated with diet or drugs. Health care policy and institutional culture is still operating under the old premise that all ID is incurable and thus, many children born with treatable ID are at risk of not being treated. To acknowledge the multidisciplinary scope and the ways in which health care professionals and researchers will collaborate, the goals of the TIDE BC project are demonstrated within a framework of 7 Work Packages: * Implementation of a new Protocol for diagnostic evaluation of ID, focusing of treatable conditions; * Development of infrastructure to facilitate implementation, evaluation and sustainability of the Protocol; * Investments into next generation genomic technologies; * Improving evidence of and access to treatments; * Evaluation and health economy; * Knowledge dissemination; * Education and Mentoring. The objectives addressed in all Work Packages reflect a highly integrated cluster combining clinical care, research, evaluation, and knowledge dissemination.

High-resolution atlas template of the human cerebellum and brainstem, based on the anatomy of 20 young healthy individuals. The atlas is spatially unbiased, i.e. the location of each structure is equal to the expected location of that structure across individuals in MNI space. At the same time, the new template preserves the anatomical detail of cerebellar structures through a nonlinear atlas-generation algorithm. By using automated nonlinear normalization methods, a more accurate intersubject-alignment than current whole-brain methods can be achieved. The toolbox allows you to: * Automatically isolate cerebellar structures from the cerebral cortex based on an anatomical image * Achieve accurate anatomical normalization of cerebellar structures * Normalize functional imaging data for fMRI group analysis * Normalize focal cerebellar lesions for lesion-symptom mapping * Use Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to determine patterns of cerebellar degeneration or growth * Use a probabilisitc atlas in SUIT space to assign locations to different cerebellar lobuli in an unbiased and informed way * Automatically define ROIs for specific cerebellar lobuli and summarize function and anatomical data * Improve normalization of the deep cerebellar nuclei using an ROI-driven normalization. The suit-toolbox requires Matlab (Version 6.5 and higher) and SPM. The newest version only supports SPM8, although it likely runs under SPM2 or 5 as well. A standalone version for the suit-toolbox is not planned. Usage of the isolation or normalization functions, however, does not require that the analysis is conducted under SPM.

Software for automated anatomical labeling of activations in SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping) using a macroscopic anatomical parcellation of the MNI MRI single-subject brain. The software was used for an automated anatomical parcellation of the spatially normalized single-subject high-resolution T1 volume provided by the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) (D. L. Collins et al., 1998, Trans. Med. Imag. 17, 463468, PubMed). Using this parcellation method, three procedures to perform the automated anatomical labeling of functional studies were proposed: (1) labeling of an extremum defined by a set of coordinates, (2) percentage of voxels belonging to each of the anatomical volumes of interest (AVOI) intersected by a sphere centered by a set of coordinates, and (3) percentage of voxels belonging to each of the AVOI intersected by an activated cluster. An interface with the Statistical Parametric Mapping package is provided as a freeware to researchers of the neuroimaging community.

http://bioinformatics.biol.uoa.gr/human_gpdb/

A publicly accessible, relational database of human G-Proteins and their interactions with human GPCRs and Effectors. Advanced data integration techniques make Human-gpDB very rich in context since all of the bioentities are linked to a rich variety of external data sources. High quality visualization methods make the networks more informative and the extraction of information easier. Human-gpDB is currently a very useful tool for drug targeting investigation. The sequences of G-Proteins and GPCRs are classified according to a hierarchy of different classes, families and sub-families, whereas the Effectors sequences are classified in families, subfamilies and types, based on extensive literature search. The classification of GPCRs follows the IUPHAR classification, while the Effectors classification is a unique feature and is based on their function. The database currently holds information about 713 human GPCRs, 36 human G-Proteins and 99 human Effectors. The collection of the information about the interactions between these molecules was done manually and the current status of Human-gpDB reveals information about 1663 connections between GPCRs and G-Proteins and 1618 connections between G-Proteins and Effectors.

A portal of online studies that encourage community participation to tackle the most challenging problems in neuropsychiatry, including attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Our approach is to engage the community and try to recruit tens of thousands of people to spend an hour of their time on our site. You folks will provide data in both brain tests and questionnaires, as well as DNA, and in return, we will provide some information about your brain and behavior. You will also be entered to win amazon.com gift cards. While large collaborative efforts were made in genetics in order to discover the secrets of the human genome, there are still many mysteries about the behaviors that are seen in complex neuropsychiatric syndromes and the underlying biology that gives rise to these behaviors. We know that it will require studying tens of thousands of people to begin to answer these questions. Having you, the public, as a research partner is the only way to achieve that kind of investment. This site will try to reach that goal, by combining high-throughput behavioral assessment using questionnaires and game-like cognitive tests. You provide the data and then we will provide information and feedback about why you should help us achieve our goals and how it benefits everyone in the world. We believe that through this online study, we can better understand memory and attention behaviors in the general population and their genetic basis, which will in turn allow us to better characterize how these behaviors go awry in people who suffer from mental illness. In the end, we hope this will provide better, more personalized treatment options, and ultimately prevention of these widespread and extremely debilitating brain diseases. We will use the data we collect to try to identify the genetic basis for memory and impulse control, for example. If we can achieve this goal, maybe we can then do more targeted research to understand how the biology goes awry in people who have problems with cognition, including memory and impulse control, like those diagnosed with ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. By participating in our research, you can learn about mental illness and health and help researchers tackle these complex problems. We can''t do it without your help.
