A clinical research, neuropathological research and collaborative research database that uses data collected from 29 NIA-funded Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs). The database consists of several datasets, and searches may be done on the entire database or on individual datasets. Any researcher, whether affiliated with an ADC or not, may request a data file for analysis or aggregate data tables. Requested aggregate data tables are produced and returned as soon as the queue allows (usually within 1-3 days depending on the complexity).

The aim of this work is to present a toolbox for structure segmentation of structural MRI images. All programs were developed in MATLAB based on a widely used fMRI, MRI software package, SPM99, SPM2, SPM5 (Wellcome Department of Cognitive Neurology, London, UK). Other previous works have developed a similar strategy for obtaining the segmentation of individual MRI image into different anatomical structures using a standardized Atlas. Have to be mentioned the one introduced by Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) that merges the information coming from ANIMAL (algorithm that deforms one image (nonlinear registration) to match previously labelled) and INSECT (Cerebral Tissue Classification) programs for obtaining a suitable gross cortical structure segmentation (Collins et al, 1999). Here both, nonlinear registration and gray matter segmentation processes have been performed through SPM99, SPM2, SPM5 subroutines. Three principal elements for the labeling process are used: gray matter segmentation, normalization transform matrix (that maps voxels from individual space to standardized one) and MaxPro MNI Atlas. All three are combined to yield a good performance in segmenting gross cortical structures. The programs here can be used in general for any standardized Atlas and any MRI image modality. System Requirements: 1. The IBASPM graphical user interface (GUI) runs only under MATLAB 7.0 or higher. The non-graphical version runs under MATLAB 6.5 or higher. 2. Statistical Parametrical Mapping Software SPM2, SPM5 Main Functions: * Atlasing: Main function ( This file contains spm_select script from SPM5 toolbox and uigetdir script from MATLAB 7.0 ). * Auto_Labeling : Computes individual atlas. * Create_SPAMs : Constructs Statistical Probability Anatomy Maps (SPAMs). * Create_MaxProb : Creates Maximum Probability Atlas (MaxPro) using the SPAMs previously computed. * All_Brain_Vol : Computes whole brain volume masking the brain using the segmentation files (if the segmentation files does not exist it segments). * Struct_Vol : Computes the volume for different structures based on individual Atlas previously obtained by the atlasing process. * Vols_Stats : Computes mean and standard deviation for each structure in a group of individual atlases.

http://coins.mrn.org/

A web-based neuroimaging and neuropsychology software suite that offers versatile, automatable data upload/import/entry options, rapid and secure sharing of data among PIs, querying and export all data, real-time reporting, and HIPAA and IRB compliant study-management tools suitable to large institutions as well as smaller scale neuroscience and neuropsychology researchers. COINS manages over over 400 studies, more than 265,000 clinical neuropsychological assessments, and 26,000 MRI, EEG, and MEG scan sessions collected from 18,000 participants at over ten institutions on topics related to the brain and behavior. As neuroimaging research continues to grow, dynamic neuroinformatics systems are necessary to store, retrieve, mine and share the massive amounts of data. The Collaborative Informatics and Neuroimaging Suite (COINS) has been created to facilitate communication and cultivate a data community. This tool suite offers versatile data upload/import/entry options, rapid and secure sharing of data among PIs, querying of data types and assessments, real-time reporting, and study-management tools suitable to large institutions as well as smaller scale researchers. It manages studies and their data at the Mind Research Network, the Nathan Kline Institute, University of Colorado Boulder, the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center (at) Hartford Hospital, and others. COINS is dynamic and evolves as the neuroimaging field grows. COINS consists of the following collaboration-centric tools: * Subject and Study Management: MICIS (Medical Imaging Computer Information System) is a centralized PostgreSQL-based web application that implements best practices for participant enrollment and management. Research site administrators can easily create and manage studies, as well as generate reports useful for reporting to funding agencies. * Scan Data Collection: An automated DICOM receiver collects, archives, and imports imaging data into the file system and COINS, requiring no user intervention. The database also offers scan annotation and behavioral data management, radiology review event reports, and scan time billing. * Assessment Data Collection: Clinical data gathered from interviews, questionnaires, and neuropsychological tests are entered into COINS through the web application called Assessment Manager (ASMT). ASMT's intuitive design allows users to start data collection with little or no training. ASMT offers several options for data collection/entry: dual data entry, for paper assessments, the Participant Portal, an online tool that allows subjects to fill out questionnaires, and Tablet entry, an offline data entry tool. * Data Sharing: De-identified neuroimaging datasets with associated clinical-data, cognitive-data, and associated meta-data are available through the COINS Data Exchange tool. The Data Exchange is an interface that allows investigators to request and share data. It also tracks data requests and keeps an inventory of data that has already been shared between users. Once requests for data have been approved, investigators can download the data directly from COINS.

Brain Canada is a national non-profit organization that develops and supports collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research across the neurosciences. Through partnering with the public, private and voluntary sectors, Brain Canada connects the knowledge and resources available in this area to accelerate neuroscience research and funding and maximize the output of Canada''s world-class scientists and researchers. Brain Canada was created to address the twin challenges of increasing the scale of brain research funding in Canada and widening its scope to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration to produce insights for treating multiple disorders. Brain Canada is built on the successes and model of NeuroScience Canada (NSC). Established in 1999, NSC raised more than $11.5 million, leveraged over $20 million with partnered funding, and funded 100 individual and teams of researchers in Canada. Brain Canada is the new vision for Canadian brain researchthe voice for the brain and the grouping of brain disorders, raising awareness about their prevalence and impact on individuals, families, the economy and society. But most important, through the research we are funding, we are giving hope to the millions of Canadians who are directly or indirectly touched by diseases, disorders, and injuries of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.
