http://code.google.com/p/neuropsychological-testing-ontology/

An ontology that represents neuropsychological assessments such as the Folstein Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Trail-Making Test, the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test, and the Wechsler Memory Scale. NPT is designed to allow for the integration of results from a variety of neuropsychological tests that assay similar measures of cognitive functioning and provides a set of classes for the annotation of neuropsychological testing data. Neuropsychological testing is an important component in developing the clinical pictures used in the diagnosis of patients with a range of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer''s disease, multiple sclerosis, and following stroke or traumatic brain injury. An initial goal of the NPT project is to test hypotheses about the diagnosis of Alzheimer''s disease based on the results of neuropsychological assessments. NPT is being built in accordance with the OBO Foundry principles. It is as an extension of the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI), which utilizes both the Information Artifact Ontology (IAO) and the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO). NPT is a corollary project of the Neurological Disease Ontology (ND) and is being developed in collaboration with the developers of the Mental Functioning Ontology (MF).

A multi-center and multi-disciplinary study designed to dramatically increase understanding of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and other late effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Overlapping clinical features, postmortem pathologies and patterns of involvement exist in TBI, CTE, and Alzheimer''s disease pose challenges to accurate diagnosis. Premortem diagnosis of CTE is currently impossible. The neuropathological consequences of single mild or moderate-severe TBI and its relationship with CTE and known dementias are unclear. The proposed project will leverage extensive resources from an ongoing population-based prospective cohort study of brain aging (Adult Changes in Thought; ACT, n=2,305) which includes excellent medical, behavioral, and genetic characterization of a cohort (20% of whom have a history of mild-moderate TBI) in addition to state-of-the-art neuropathology workup upon death. Neuropathological study of TBI effects can begin immediately in the existing ACT autopsy sample (n=489, 20% with TBI exposure). Additional cohorts of TBI- exposed individuals will come from the Brain Injury Research Center at Mount Sinai (n=150 individuals with moderate-severe TBI), the University of Texas Southwestern (n=50 retired boxers with repetitive TBI exposure), and the National Football League (n=76 retired players with repetitive TBI exposure). All participants in the proposed study (ACT and other sites) will undergo uniform harmonized neurobehavioral assessment (chosen to maximize correspondence with existing large-scale TBI and dementia studies), MRI scan, and genomic analysis. Those individuals who expire during the course of the study will undergo ex-vivo neuroimaging and extensive neuropathological exam using state-of-the-art techniques (such as Histelide) designed to quantify tau and A�� in whole brain specimens. Only by examining postmortem pathology in a sample of individuals with varying levels of TBI exposure who are well characterized during life (as proposed herein) can postmortem pathology facilitate identification of in-vivo biomarkers that can act as diagnostic tools. This project represents the most systematic and scientifically rigorous effort to date to develop a more complete understanding of the long-term clinical and neuropathological sequelae of single and multiple TBI.

The American Neurological Association is a professional society of academic neurologists and neuroscientists devoted to advancing the goals of academic neurology; to training and educating neurologists and other physicians in the neurologic sciences; and to expanding both our understanding of diseases of the nervous system and our ability to treat them. Our Goals 1. To disseminate knowledge about the nervous system and its diseases by: Presenting new scientific basic and clinical information at an annual meeting Publishing a scientific journal Formulating and promoting high standards of neurologic practice 2. To promote research into the causes and treatment of diseases of the nervous system by: Attracting promising physicians into academic neurology and supporting their development Advocating financial support from government, industry and individuals for research on the nervous system and its disorders 3. To formulate and promote policies and actions which will support the goals of academic neurology by: Providing a unified voice for academic neurology Setting guidelines and assuring excellence in programs that train and educate physicians in neurology Raising the standard of neurologic training of all physicians A few highlights within the portal: Clinical Neuroscience Pathway Startling breakthroughs in molecular biology and basic neuroscience have defined the cause of many diseases of the nervous system and are transforming the practice of neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry. Basic research is giving new information on how the brain works and how brain injury occurs-and how it can be prevented or improved. Recognizing the exciting opportunities now available to better understand nervous system function and to design new treatments for neurological diseases, we''ve developed an interdepartmental program: The Clinical Neuroscience Pathway to provide an enhanced exposure to the neurosciences while pursuing the Doctor of Medicine degree. Program goal: The Clinical Neuroscience Pathway provides medical students with an enriched experience in the neurosciences throughout their four years in medical school. This program will provide students interested in Neurology, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Pathology, or Psychiatry with access to a number of stimulating clinical and research activities. In addition, students will have the opportunity to participate in activities specifically designed for medical students in the program. Pathway students will be eligible for special summer research and year-out opportunities for clinical and basic neuroscience study. John N. Whitaker Visiting Professorships About the Program The ANA offers up to five 5,000 awards annually to fund visits of several days duration by persons who will interact with medical students and by both formal and informal contacts, stimulate them to consider academic neurology careers. The ideal visitor will be a role model of an accomplished academician who is enthusiastic and will effectively illustrate the applications between basic science and clinical neurology. The ANAs Education Committee must approve the visitor. The inviting institution should have acceptance from the visitor prior to submitting the name. The ANA suggests that an honorarium in the amount of 2,000 be given to the visitor. Special consideration will be given to institutions with small departments, but this is not a requirement. The Whitaker Professorships are intended to honor the life and contributions of John N. Whitaker M.D. (1940 - 2001) whose life and career exemplified high achievement as a person, neurological physician, teacher, investigator, mentor and citizen.

A data warehouse that integrates information on patients from multiple sources and consists of patient information from all the visits to Cincinnati Children''''s between 2003 and 2007. This information includes demographics (age, gender, race), diagnoses (ICD-9), procedures, medications and lab results. They have included extracts from Epic, DocSite, and the new Cerner laboratory system and will eventually load public data sources, data from the different divisions or research cores (such as images or genetic data), as well as the research databases from individual groups or investigators. This information is aggregated, cleaned and de-identified. Once this process is complete, it is presented to the user, who will then be able to query the data. The warehouse is best suited for tasks like cohort identification, hypothesis generation and retrospective data analysis. Automated software tools will facilitate some of these functions, while others will require more of a manual process. The initial software tools will be focused around cohort identification. They have developed a set of web-based tools that allow the user to query the warehouse after logging in. The only people able to see your data are those to whom you grant authorization. If the information can be provided to the general research community, they will add it to the warehouse. If it cannot, they will mark it so that only you (or others in your group with proper approval) can access it.
