Center dedicated to understanding and treatment of neurological diseases by creating and using imaging methods to study human nervous system. Dedicated to research imaging of human brain. Brain structure is imaged using anatomical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (aMRI) while brain physiology is imaged using Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), functional MRI (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). BIC maintains linkages with clinical, clinical research and basic research communities within Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), McGill University and has collaborations across Quebec, Canada, USA and internationally.

The overall mission of the Comprehensive Neuroscience Center (CNC) is to promote and support interdisciplinary neuroscience research, clinical care and education at UAB. Despite significant advances over the last 15 years in understanding many basic neurological processes, development of more effective treatments for neurological and psychiatric diseases have been identified as the largest and fastest growing unmet medical need in this country. The institutions that can most rapidly and creatively establish the necessary neuroscience initiatives to facilitate the translation of basic research discoveries into effective therapies will be positioned to lead neurological and psychiatric disease research into the future. The Center integrates a variety of disciplines, including neurology, psychiatry, neurobiology, neurosurgery, psychology, vision science, and biomedical engineering. Faculty from the Schools of Medicine, Optometry, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Dentistry, Engineering, Health Professions, and Public Health are affiliated with the Center. The need to address neuroscience research is great: one in three Americans are affected by nervous system diseases including brain and spinal cord injury, dementing illnesses, schizophrenia, depression, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, and autism. The burden of these diseases has an estimated economic cost of 500 billion per year in the United States. Center Research: The CNC serves as a vital center for neuroscience research at UAB and oversees six thematic programs of investigation: neurodevelopment and neurogenetics, neurodegeneration and experimental therapeutics, neuroregeneration and plasticity, behavioral and cognitive health, glial biology in medicine, and neuroimaging. The CNC helps coordinate the efforts of multiple neuroscience related centers at UAB, such as the Center for Glial Biology in Medicine, the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute, the Civitan International Research Center, and the Alzheimers Disease Research Center. By interacting directly with these centers and establishing coalitions of centers and neuroscience subdisciplines, the CNC aids the UAB neuroscience community in meeting the challenges of modern neuroscience investigation. The CNC builds on other recent advances in neuroscience at UAB, including an 8.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish the Alabama Neuroscience Blueprint Core Center Facility awarded in September 2006. The Neuroscience Blueprint establishes research infrastructure on campus that is shared by investigators from institutions across Alabama and the Southeast. UAB has also added dynamic new leadership in the neuroscience fields including the following new chairs: Ray L. Watts, MD, Neurology (from Emory University); David Sweatt, PhD, Neurobiology (from Baylor College of Medicine); and James Meador-Woodruff, MD, Psychiatry (from the University of Michigan).

http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ServicesAtlases/Cyno

A reference atlas of cynomolgus macaque monkey magnetic resonance images. The template brain volume that offers a common stereotaxic reference frame to localize anatomical and functional information in an organized and reliable way for comparison across individual cynomolgus monkeys and studies. We have used MRI volumes from a group of 18 normal adult cynomulgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) to create the individual atlas. Thus, the atlas does not rely on the anatomy of a single subject, but instead depends on nonlinear normalization of numerous cynomolgus monkey brains mapped to an average template image that is faithful to the location of anatomical structures. Tools for registering a native MRI to the cynomolgus macaque atlas can be found in the Software section. Viewing the atlas and associated volumes online requires Java browser support. Additionally, you may download the atlas and associated files in your chosen format.

http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ServicesAtlases/NIHPD-obj2

An unbiased magnetic resonance imaging template brain volume for pediatric data from birth to 4.5y age range. These volumes were created using 317 scans from 108 children enrolled in the NIH-funded MRI study of normal brain development (Almli et al., 2007, Evans and Group 2006). Templates are constructed for different age ranges. Each age range includes an average T1w, T2w, PDw maps normalized between 0 and 100. Also each age range includes a binary brain mask. Tools for using these atlases can be found in the Software section.

http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ServicesAtlases/Rhesus

A reference atlas of rhesus macaque monkey magnetic resonance images that offers a common stereotaxic reference frame. The atlas can be used to localize anatomical and functional information in an organized and reliable way for comparison across individual rhesus monkeys and studies. We have used MRI volumes from a group of 7 normal adult rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) to create the individual atlas. Thus, the atlas does not rely on the anatomy of a single subject, but instead depends on nonlinear normalization of numerous rhesus monkey brains mapped to an average template image that is faithful to the location of anatomical structures. Tools for registering a native MRI to the rhesus macaque atlas can be found in the Software section. Viewing the atlas and associated volumes online requires Java browser support. Additionally, you may download the atlas and associated files in your chosen format.

http://www.neurobiologie.fu-berlin.de/beebrain

Standard brain atlas of the honeybee presented as an interactive three-dimensional surface model with integrated neuron and neuronal tracts. The standard atlas was created as an average-shape atlas of 22 neuropils, calculated from 20 individual immunostained whole-mount bee brains. After correction for global size and positioning differences by repeatedly applying an intensity-based nonrigid registration algorithm, a sequence of average label images was created. The Honeybee, Apis mellifera has been studied extensively with respect to its sensory and neural capacities in navigation, communication, visual and olfactory learning and memory processing. The goal is to integrate the entirety of information into a Virtual Atlas of the Honeybee Brain. This common spatial reference map will potentiate the representation of structural and functional data obtained in different experiments and from different individuals.
