The Neurocritic is a blog deconstructing the most sensationalistic recent findings in Human Brain Imaging, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Psychopharmacology. Born in West Virginia in 1980, The Neurocritic embarked upon a roadtrip across America at the age of thirteen with his mother. She abandoned him when they reached San Francisco and The Neurocritic descended into a spiral of drug abuse and prostitution. At fifteen, The Neurocritic''s psychiatrist encouraged him to start writing as a form of therapy.

http://www.civm.duhs.duke.edu/neuro2012ratatlas/

Multidimensional atlas of the adult Wistar rat brain based on magnetic resonance histology (MRH). The atlas has been carefully aligned with the widely used Paxinos-Watson atlas based on optical sections to allow comparisons between histochemical and immuno-marker data, and the use of the Paxinos-Watson abbreviation set. Our MR atlas attempts to make a seamless connection with the advantageous features of the Paxinos-Watson atlas, and to extend the utility of the data through the unique capabilities of MR histology: a) ability to view the brain in the skull with limited distortion from shrinkage or sectioning; b) isotropic spatial resolution, which permits sectioning along any arbitrary axis without loss of detail; c) three-dimensional (3D) images preserving spatial relationships; and d) widely varied contrast dependent on the unique properties of water protons. 3D diffusion tensor images (DTI) at what we believe to be the highest resolution ever attained in the rat provide unique insight into white matter structures and connectivity. The 3D isotropic data allow registration of multiple data sets into a common reference space to provide average atlases not possible with conventional histology. The resulting multidimensional atlas that combines Paxinos-Watson with multidimensional MRH images from multiple specimens provides a new, comprehensive view of the neuroanatomy of the rat and offers a collaborative platform for future rat brain studies. To access the atlas, click view supplementary materials in CIVMSpace at the bottom of the following webpage.

http://cocomac.g-node.org/main/index.php?

Online access (html or xml) to structural connectivity ("wiring") data on the Macaque brain. The database has become by far the largest of its kind, with data extracted from more than four hundred published tracing studies. The main database, contains data from tracing studies on anatomical connectivity in the macaque cerebral cortex. Also available are a variety of tools including a graphical simulation workbench, map displays and the CoCoMac-Paxinos-3D viewer. Submissions are welcome. To overcome the problem of divergent brain maps ORT (Objective Relational Transformation) was developed, an algorithmic method to convert data in a coordinate- independent way based on logical relations between areas in different brain maps. CoCoMac data is used to analyze the organization of the cerebral cortex, and to establish its structure- function relationships. This includes multi-variate statistics and computer simulation of models that take into account the real anatomy of the primate cerebral cortex. This site * Provides full, scriptable open access to the data in CoCoMac (you must adhere to the citation policy) * Powers the graphical interface to CoCoMac provided by the Scalable Brain Atlas * Sports an extensive search/browse wizard, which automatically constructs complex search queries and lets you further explore the database from the results page. * Allows you to get your hands dirty, by using the custom SQL query service. * Displays connectivity data in tabular form, through the axonal projections service. CoCoMac 2 was initiated at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and is currently supported by the German neuroinformatics node and the Computational and Systems Neuroscience group at the Juelich research institute.

http://rfmri.org/

A network for supporting resting-state fMRI (R-fMRI) related studies. It connects R-fMRI researchers (as nodes) by their sharings (as edges). Through the network, ideas, comments, resources, tools, experiences, and data can be shared. Researchers (nodes) with basic neuroscience, methodological, or clinical backgrounds can connect with each other in the network. It also contains a preprint server that allows neuroscientists to share their preprints, comment on each others research and get back valuable information about their experiments from their colleagues. This is based on the arXiv model. Ultimately, the network aims to enhance collaborations among researchers, especially to translate knowledge of basic neuroscience and methodology to clinical applications (bench to bedside).
