Research Network in Early Experience and Brain Development Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
Research Network in Early Experience and Brain Development (RRID:SCR_003271) | Research Network on Early Experience and Brain Development | data or information resource, image collection, portal, topical portal | Portal on how the experiences of early childhood are incorporated into the structures of the developing brain, and how, in turn, those changes in the structures of the brain influence behavior. The network explores how knowledge of brain development can guide us in understanding of behavioral development and vice versa. It focuses specifically on sensitive periods and neural plasticity, the reciprocal phenomena whereby (a) the brain is negatively affected if certain experiences fail to occur within a certain time period, and (b) the brain is altered by experience at virtually any point in the life span. Here we consider not only how the structure of experience is incorporated into the structure of the brain, but also how this knowledge can influence the decisions we make about intervening in the lives of children. Research and other projects conducted by the Network fall into four broad categories: * Effects of early experience on brain development * New methods for studying brain-behavior relations * Comparative studies of early brain-behavioral development * Impact on public policy: Educating educators and the media RESOURCES NimStim Face Stimulus Set The Research Network on Early Experience and Brain Development has developed a battery of 646 facial expression stimuli for use in its own and other studies of face and emotion recognition. Images include the following expressions, displayed by a variety of models of various genders and races: fearful, happy, sad, angry, surprised, calm, neutral, disgusted. They are making these stimuli available to the public free of charge with registration and acceptance of the terms and conditions to use the stimulus set. | brain, development, developing brain, behavior, early experience, brain development, facial expression stimuli, emotion, stimuli, facial expression, young human, child |

BrainTrap: Fly Brain Protein Trap Database Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
BrainTrap: Fly Brain Protein Trap Database (RRID:SCR_003398) | BrainTrap | d spatial image, data or information resource, database | This database contains information on protein expression in the Drosophila melanogaster brain. It consists of a collection of 3D confocal datasets taken from EYFP expressing protein trap Drosophila lines from the Cambridge Protein Trap project. Currently there are 884 brain scans from 535 protein trap lines in the database. Drosophila protein trap strains were generated by the St Johnston Lab and the Russell Lab at the University of Cambridge, UK. The piggyBac insertion method was used to insert constructs containing splice acceptor and donor sites, StrepII and FLAG affinity purification tags, and an EYFP exon (Venus). Brain images were acquired by Seymour Knowles-Barley, in the Armstrong Lab at the University of Edinburgh. Whole brain mounts were imaged by confocal microscopy, with a background immunohistochemical label added to aid the identification of brain structures. Additional immunohistochemical labeling of the EYFP protein using an anti-GFP antibody was also used in most cases. The trapped protein signal (EYFP / anti-GFP), background signal (NC82 label), and the merged signal can be viewed on the website by using the corresponding channel buttons. In all images the trapped protein / EYFP signal appears green and the background / NC82 channel appears magenta. Original .lsm image files are also available for download. | brain, exon, expression, 3d confocal, affinity, antibody, dataset, immunohistochemical, microscopy, image, protein, protein-trap, gene | has parent organization: University of Edinburgh; Scotland; United Kingdom | EPSRC ; British society for Developmental Biology ; Society for Experimental Biology ; Virtual Fly Brain e-Science Institute Theme ; BBSRC ; MRC |

CCHMC Pediatric Brain Templates Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
CCHMC Pediatric Brain Templates (RRID:SCR_003276) | Pediatric Brain Templates | atlas, data or information resource, image collection, reference atlas | Brain imaging data collected from a large population of normal, healthy children that have been used to construct pediatric brain templates, which can be used within statistical parametric mapping for spatial normalization, tissue segmentation and visualization of imaging study results. The data has been processed and compiled in various ways to accommodate a wide range of possible research approaches. The templates are made available free of charge to all interested parties for research purposes only. When processing imaging data from children, it is important to take into account the fact that the pediatric brain differs significantly from the adult brain. Therefore, optimized processing requires appropriate reference data be used because adult reference data will introduce a systematic bias into the results. We have shown that, in the in the case of spatial normalization, the amount of non-linear deformation is dramatically less when a pediatric template is used (left, see also HBM 2002; 17:48-60). We could also show that tissue composition is substantially different between adults and children, and more so the younger the children are (right, see also MRM 2003; 50:749-757). We thus believe that the use of pediatric reference data might be more appropriate. | brain, child, human, normal, pediatric, spatial normalization, template, tissue segmentation, visualization, young human, neuroimaging | is related to: SPM | Normal, Healthy | Free, Freely available | nif-0000-01274 | https://jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?A2=SPM;981fd215.02 | SCR_003276 | 2026-08-29 11:21:28 | 3 | ||||||

NIH MRI Study of Normal Brain Development Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
NIH MRI Study of Normal Brain Development (RRID:SCR_003394) | Pediatric MRI Study | data or information resource, data set, experimental protocol, narrative resource | Data sets of clinical / behavioral and image data are available for download by qualified researchers from a seven year, multi-site, longitudinal study using magnetic resonance technologies to study brain maturation in healthy, typically-developing infants, children, and adolescents and to correlate brain development with cognitive and behavioral development. The information obtained in this study is expected to provide essential data for understanding the course of normal brain development as a basis for understanding atypical brain development associated with a variety of developmental, neurological, and neuropsychiatric disorders affecting children and adults. This study enrolled over 500 children, ranging from infancy to young adulthood. The goal was to study each participant at least three times over the course of the project at one of six Pediatric Centers across the United States. Brain MR and clinical/behavioral data have been compiled and analyzed at a Data Coordinating Center and Clinical Coordinating Center. Additionally, MR spectroscopy and DTI data are being analyzed. The study was organized around two objectives corresponding to two age ranges at the time of enrollment, each with its own protocols. * Objective 1 enrolled children ages 4 years, 6 months through 18 years (total N = 433). This sample was recruited across the six Pediatric Study Centers using community based sampling to reflect the demographics of the United States in terms of income, race, and ethnicity. The subjects were studied with both imaging and clinical/behavioral measures at two year intervals for three time points. * Objective 2 enrolled newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers from birth through 4 years, 5 months, who were studied three or more times at two Pediatric Study Centers at intervals ranging from three months for the youngest subjects to one year as the children approach the Objective 1 age range. Both imaging and clinical/behavioral measures were collected at each time point. Participant recruitment used community based sampling that included hospital venues (e.g., maternity wards and nurseries, satellite physician offices, and well-child clinics), community organizations (e.g., day-care centers, schools, and churches), and siblings of children participating in other research at the Pediatric Study Centers. At timepoint 1, of those enrolled, 114 children had T1 scans that passed quality control checks. Staged data release plan: The first data release included structural MR images and clinical/behavioral data from the first assessments, Visit 1, for Objective 1. A second data release included structural MRI and clinical/behavioral data from the second visit for Objective 1. A third data release included structural MRI data for both Objective 1 and 2 and all time points, as well as preliminary spectroscopy data. A fourth data release added cortical thickness, gyrification and cortical surface data. Yet to be released are longitudinally registered anatomic MRI data and diffusion tensor data. A collaborative effort among the participating centers and NIH resulted in age-appropriate MR protocols and clinical/behavioral batteries of instruments. A summary of this protocol is available as a Protocol release document. Details of the project, such as study design, rationale, recruitment, instrument battery, MRI acquisition details, and quality controls can be found in the study protocol. Also available are the MRI procedure manual and Clinical/Behavioral procedure manuals for Objective 1 and Objective 2. | young human, child, pediatric, experimental protocol, brain, brain development, development, mri, minc, clinical, behavior, anatomical mri, diffusion tensor imaging, mr spectroscopy, adolescent, clinical data, behavioral data, data visualization software, clinical measure, behavioral measure, physical neurological examination, behavioral rating, neuropsychological testing, structured psychiatric interview, hormonal measure, image collection, neonate, clinical neuroinformatics, dicom, minc2, magnetic resonance, nifti |

Many methods have been proposed in the literature, but they often: * work well on certain datasets but fail on others. * require case-specific parameter tuning ROBEX aims for robust skull-stripping across datasets with no parameter settings. It fits a triangular mesh, constrained by a shape model, to the probabilistic output of a supervised brain boundary classifier. Because the shape model cannot perfectly accommodate unseen cases, a small free deformation is subsequently allowed. The deformation is optimized using graph cuts. | magnetic resonance, mri, skull stripping, classification, segmentation, brain, skull | is listed by: NeuroImaging Tools and Resources Collaboratory (NITRC) | PMID:21880566 | Free, Available for download, Freely available | nlx_155939 | http://www.nitrc.org/projects/robex | SCR_002534 | Robust Brain Extraction (ROBEX), Robust Brain Extraction | 2026-08-29 11:21:16 | 3 | |||||

Connectome Wiki is a knowledge base for macro- and mesoscale brain region and brain structural connectivity information across species. Employing modern semantic wiki technology, it serves as collaborative platform as well. What can I get? * Brain Regions: Plenty of information, including links to relevant literature and much more. * Brain Connections: Well established neuronal connections based mainly on neuronal tracer studies from the literature. * Abbreviations: Look up abbreviations and corresponding English and Latin names * Partition Schemes: Foundational and more partitions with their corresponding delineation criteria and protocols. * Species: Information about different species is available, using their binomial name as identifier. * External: Enhance the ConnectomeViewer with Volume-To-Ontology mappings. * Data Source: You can download the raw data in RDF or JSON. How can I contribute? If your research is in particular brain regions, or model organisms not yet registered, feel free to act as domain expert and add your knowledge. If you do any tracer studies, add findings with appropriate published papers. Incrementally building a mesoscale skeleton wiring diagram. Complete anything that is missing. See also PapersToAdd. Register your own partition scheme and link it semantically against known schemes. Adding brain region pages for your particular research organisms. Use ConnectomeWiki as knowledge backend for your application concerned with gross neuroanatomy. The goals of this wiki are: * A collaborative platform to collect, collate, manage and disseminate mesoscale nervous system region and connectivity information across various species * Authority for Brain Region Abbreviations * Representation of Brain Region Homologies * Interrelation of Brain Partition Schemes * Information source for the ConnectomeViewer application | brain, connectome, homology, mesoscopic, microcircuitry, region |

Wellesley College Neuroscience Resource Report Resource Website |
Wellesley College Neuroscience (RRID:SCR_002734) | data or information resource, department portal, organization portal, portal | Neuroscience was implemented as a new interdisciplinary major in 1999, replacing the Psychobiology Program and providing a base of experiences in biology, chemistry and psychology. Our students benefit from being able to work in small classes and to experience investigative lab experiences even in their introductory courses. Wellesley's neuroscience majors graduate with a liberal arts background coupled with sufficient concentration in this specialized field to be competitive among students coming from exclusively research-oriented institutions. The best proofs of the success of this approach are its products: * 60% of our graduates proceed to medical school; * 15% of our graduates continue on with graduate work in neuroscience, psychology, or neuropsychology; * 10% of our graduates pursue careers that intersect with neuroscience - for example, patent law or work in the biotech industry. Neuroscience is the study of the structure and function of neurons and how they are assembled to produce behaviors. This topic uses a multidisciplinary approach that extends from the molecular, through the cellular, and to the behavioral level. | function, behavior, behavioral, biology, brain, cellular, chemistry, medical, molecular, neuron, neuroscience, psychobiology, psychology, structure, undergraduate | Free | nif-0000-24036 | SCR_002734 | Wellesley Neuroscience | 2026-08-29 11:21:19 | 0 |
