Advances in our understanding of the brain are leading to new insights into how we think and to new opportunities to treat the devastating set of neurological diseases that affect all segments of our population. Penn State Hershey Neuroscience Institute integrates basic, translational and clinical neuroscience research; education of graduate students, medical students, postdoctoral fellows and residents; clinical care of patients with neurobehavioral diseases and disorders; and outreach to the local community, state, regional, national and international neuroscience organizations. With the neurosciences clearly established as a continuing priority in the overall strategic vision of Penn State Hershey, the leadership of the neuroscience community is seeking to establish the short and long term vision for excellence and continued growth in neuroscience. Those academic centers that can achieve the best collaboration and alignment among the various neuroscience disciplines will be best positioned to advance this field. We believe that the formation of Penn State Hershey Neuroscience Institute positions us to take a leading role in developing neuroscience knowledge and treatment.

http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/VTO

An ontology that includes both extinct and extant vertebrates, aiming to provide one comprehensive hierarchy. The hierarchy backbone for extant taxa is based on the NCBI taxonomy. Since the NCBI taxonomy only includes species associated with archived genetic data, to complement this, they also incorporate taxonomic information across the vertebrates from the Paleobiology Database (PaleoDB). The Teleost Taxonomy Ontology (TTO) and AmphibiaWeb (AWeb) are incorporated to provide a more authoritative hierarchy and a richer set of names for specific taxonomic groups.

http://brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu/Brainarray/Database/ProbeMatchDB/ncbi_probmatch_para_step1.asp

Matches a list of microarray probes across different microrarray platforms (GeneChip, EST from different vendors, Operon Oligos) and species (human, mouse and rat), based on NCBI UniGene and HomoloGene. The capability to match protein sequence IDs has just been added to facilitate proteomic studies. The ProbeMatchDB is mainly used for the design of verification experiments or comparing the microarray results from different platforms. It can be used for finding equivalent EST clones in the Research Genetics sequence verified clone set based on results from Affymetirx GeneChips. It will also help to identify probes representing orthologous genes across human, mouse and rat on different microarray platforms.

http://ucsfeye.net/mlavailRDratmodels.shtml

Supplier of fully penetrant rat models of the retinitis pigmentosa type of inherited retinal degeneration, including the following models: * Mutant rhodopsin transgenic rats ** P23H mutant rhodopsin transgenic rats -Three lines with different rates of photoreceptor degeneration ** S334ter mutant rhodopsin transgenic rats -Five lines with different rates of photoreceptor degeneration * RCS (Royal College of Surgeons) rats with inherited retinal dystrophy ** RCS pink-eyed inbred strain ** RCS pigmented congenic strain with slowed rate of retinal dystrophy ** RCS congenic control strains of both pigmentation types, wild-type at the retinal dystrophy (Mertk) genetic locus The resource has been supported by the National Eye Institute (NEI) for the past 19 years to produce and distribute breeding pairs of these animal models to vision scientists. Thus, the following apply: * Request for rats requires only a 1-page letter/e-mail addressing 4 questions * No charge for the animals or tissues (except for shipping costs) * No Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) required * No collaboration requirement (in most cases) The resource usually provides multiple breeding pairs of the rats to vision scientists to generate breeding stock. It can also provide extra animals to breed for immediate experimental work, animals of specific ages (depending upon availability), animals with prior exposure to different lighting conditions, eyes taken at specific ages instead of rats for pilot studies and other experiments (fresh, frozen, dissected in specific ways, or fixed with special fixatives or by different methods), or other tissues (e.g., liver, spleen, brain, testis, etc.) prepared different ways.

Allegheny's neuroscience major formalizes an alliance dating back 25 years between the College's well-known biology and psychology departments. The major brings faculty and students together to study the brain and the nervous system using principles from the natural and social sciences. It requires a common core of biology, chemistry, and psychology courses. Students may choose from two tracks: "cellular neurobiology" or "behavioral and cognitive neuroscience", and they have the opportunity to explore interdisciplinary topics through the Junior Seminar and the year-long Senior Research Project.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone., documented September 6, 2016. Sage Bionetworks video podcasts feature the plenary talks from the April 2011 Commons Congress in San Francisco. The Keynote and project update video posts are in reverse chronological order; the full agenda is available at www.sagecongress.org. There are also several excellent podcasts from the January 2011 Symposium on Human Data Interoperability. The podcasts are also available on iTunes where you can subscribe and receive new podcasts automatically when posted. Upcoming posts will feature presentations and interviews on network biology, genomics, healthcare and open science. All these podcasts feature research and thought leaders as well as policy advocates, scientists working at the coal-face and patients. The topics span technical and strategic issues and include fact and opinion. The goal is to engage, educate and inspire non-scientists and scientists alike.
