THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 6, 2016. A publicly accessible data repository to provide neuroscience investigators with secure access to cohort collections. The Databank collects and disseminates gene expression data from microarray experiments on brain tissue samples, along with diagnostic results from postmortem studies of neurological and psychiatric disorders. All of the data that is derived from studies of the HBTRC collection is being incorporated into the National Brain Databank. This data is available to the general public, although strict precautions are undertaken to maintain the confidentiality of the brain donors and their family members. The system is designed to incorporate MIAME and MAGE-ML based microarray data sharing standards. Data from various types of studies conducted on brain tissue in the HBTRC collection will be available from studies using different technologies, such as gene expression profiling, quantitative RT-PCR, situ hybridization, and immunocytochemistry and will have the potential for providing powerful insights into the subregional and cellular distribution of genes and/or proteins in different brain regions and eventually in specific subregions and cellular subtypes.

http://brainarchitecture.org/

Evolving portal that will provide interactive tools and resources to allow researchers, clinicians, and students to discover, analyze, and visualize what is known about the brain's organization, and what the evidence is for that knowledge. This project has a current experimental focus: creating the first brainwide mesoscopic connectivity diagram in the mouse. Related efforts for the human brain currently focus on literature mining and an Online Brain Atlas Reconciliation Tool. The primary goal of the Brain Architecture Project is to assemble available knowledge about the structure of the nervous system, with an ultimate emphasis on the human CNS. Such information is currently scattered in research articles, textbooks, electronic databases and datasets, and even as samples on laboratory shelves. Pooling the knowledge across these heterogeneous materials - even simply getting to know what we know - is a complex challenge that requires an interdisciplinary approach and the contributions and support of the greater community. Their approach can be divided into 4 major thrusts: * Literature Curation and Text Mining * Computational Analysis * Resource Development * Experimental Efforts

http://yogo.msu.montana.edu/

A set of software tools created to rapidly build scientific data-management applications. These applications will enhance the process of data annotation, analysis, and web publication. The system provides a set of easy-to-use software tools for data sharing by the scientific community. It enables researchers to build their own custom-designed data management systems. The problem of scientific data management rests on several challenges. These include flexible data storage, a way to share the stored data, tools to curate the data, and history of the data to show provenance. The Yogo Framework gives you the ability to build scientific data management applications that address all of these challenges. The Yogo software is being developed as part of the NeuroSys project. All tools created as part of the Yogo Data Management Framework are open source and released under an OSI approved license.

Consortium conducting meta-analyses of genome-wide genetic data for psychiatric disease. Focused on autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa (AN), Tourette syndrome (TS), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Used to investigate common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyped on commercial arrays, structural variation (copy number variation) and uncommon or rare genetic variation. To participate you are asked to upload data from your study to central computer used by this consortium. Genetic Cluster Computer serves as data warehouse and analytical platform for this study . When data from your study have been incorporated, account will be provided on central server and access to all GWAS genotypes, phenotypes, and meta-analytic results relevant to deposited data and participation aims. NHGRI GWAS Catalog contains updated information about all GWAS in biomedicine, and is usually excellent starting point to find comprehensive list of studies. Files can be obtained by any PGC member for any disease to which they contributed data. These files can also be obtained by application to NIMH Genetics Repository. Individual-level genotype and phenotype data requires application, material transfer agreement, and informed consent consideration. Some datasets are also in controlled-access dbGaP and Wellcome Trust Case-Control Consortium repositories. PGC members can also receive back cleaned and imputed data and results for samples they contributed to PGC analyses.

http://dally.nimh.nih.gov/matoff/matoff.html

An interactive analysis program that searches neurophysiological data and plots the results. MatOFF was developed especially for dealing with the complexities common to behavioral neurophysiological experiments. It runs under Windows 2000 or XP and relies on MATLAB version R11.1 (or above) for all operations. MatOFF searches a data file to locate and plot epochs (trials) of special interest to the investigator. Appropriate input data files have time-stamped event codes, usually including neuron action potential firing events (spikes), and digitized analog data. The user specifies a list of event code numbers that uniquely identify a sequence of events. MatOFF uses this sequence to search the raw data file, select the epochs that meet the criteria, time-shift the trials to align them on a common event, order the epochs based on user-selected criteria, and plot the results based on a collection of page formatting specifications. MatOFF will also save extracted data and some statistics to disk. Features: * Powerful, interactive searching tools for locating relevant experimental events * Compatible with Cortex data acquisition program * Compatible with Plexon data acquisition system * Flexible, publication-quality graphical display and printing * Comprehensive scripting language * Supports learning and other dynamic behavior * Integrated interface to MATLAB functions * Automatic alignment of trial data and generation of histograms * Large variety of options for selecting and ordering trial data * Descriptive and non-parametric statistics * XY analog displays * Data export with flexible format control * Up to 72 plots per page * Display templates can be saved and reloaded * Free for public or private use * Adaptable to almost any data file format

A program developed by the NIMH Laboratory of Neuropsychology for data acquisition and experimental control of neurophysiological experiments. The purpose of this website is to make it easier to access new versions of NIMH CORTEX and its supporting documents. Ultimately, it is also hoped that these pages will make it easier for users to report bugs, request enhancements, and obtain help. Download the latest version and unzip it into a new sub-directory. Then read the on-line documentation. For the new user, the User''s Manuals are invaluable in specifying system requirements and giving an overview of the features and necessary hardware. The Function reference goes into more detail about how to write experiments using NIMH CORTEX. The Demos reference is a good place for new and experienced users to start to get an idea of what NIMH CORTEX can do these days.

Suite of programs developed for fMRI analysis in a Virtual Pipeline Laboratory facilitates combining program modules from different software packages into processing pipelines to create analysis solutions which are not possible with a single software package alone. Current pipelines include fMRI analysis, statistical testing based on randomization methods and fractal spectral analysis. Pipelines are continually being added. The software is mostly written in C. This fMRI analysis package supports batch processing and comprises the following general functions at the first level of individual image analysis: movement correction (interpolation and regression), time series modeling, data resampling in the wavelet domain, hypothesis testing at voxel and cluster levels. Additionally, there is code for second level analysis - group and factorial or ANOVA mapping - after co-registration of voxel statistic maps from individual images in a standard space. The main point of difference from other fMRI analysis packages is the emphasis throughout on the use of data resampling (permutation or randomization) as a basis for inference on individual, group and factorial test statistics at voxel and cluster levels of resolution.
