The Brain Biodiversity Bank refers to the repository of images of and information about brain specimens contained in the collections associated with the National Museum of Health and Medicine at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, DC. Atlases and brain sections are available for a variety of mammals, and we are also developing a series of labeled atlases of stained sections for educators, students, and researchers. These collections include, besides the Michigan State University Collection, the Welker Collection from the University of Wisconsin, the Yakovlev-Haleem Collection from Harvard University, the Meyer Collection from the Johns Hopkins University, and the Huber-Crosby and Crosby-Lauer Collections from the University of Michigan. What we are doing currently at Michigan State is a series of demonstration projects for publicizing the contents of the collections and ways in which they can be used. For example, the images from the collection can be used for comparative brain study. We have prepared databases of the contents of the collections for presentation and use on this site, as well as for downloading by users in several formats. We are also developing a series of labeled atlases of stained sections for educators, students, and researchers. This internet site is associated with the Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections site. All of the images are in JPEG or GIF format.

The Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention, treatment, and cure of anxiety disorders and to improving the lives of all people who suffer from them. It is the leader in education, training, and research for anxiety and stress-related disorders. ADAA leads the way, improving the lives of millions of people: * Promotes professional and public awareness of anxiety and related disorders and their impact on people''s lives. * Encourages the advancement of scientific knowledge about causes and treatment of anxiety and related disorders. * Links people who need treatment with the health care professionals who provide it. * Helps people find appropriate treatment and develop self-help skills. * Works to reduce the stigma surrounding anxiety and related disorders. ADAA was founded in 1980 as the Phobia Society of America by a diverse group of clinicians and patients. The term anxiety disorder had not yet been coined. Most anxiety disorders were simply called phobias. That changed as researchers discovered links between panic attacks and abnormal blood flow in the brain, learned that anxiety disorders are associated with pervasive social and health consequences, and discovered and tested various therapies and medications to treat anxiety disorders. ADAA adopted its new name in 1990 to reflect the changing and growing field. Over the years ADAA has launched several national educational campaigns to promote awareness about anxiety disorders and encourage people to seek treatment. ADAA has also funded more than $1.5 million in anxiety disorder research. Today ADAA continues to be the voice for those affected by anxiety and anxiety-related disorders. The organization is frequently cited by the media and also provides information and treatment referrals to tens of thousands each year by phone, e-mail, and through this website.

The purpose of the NINDS Common Data Elements (CDEs) Project is to standardize the collection of investigational data in order to facilitate comparison of results across studies and more effectively aggregate information into significant metadata results. The goal of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) CDE Project specifically is to develop data standards for clinical research within the neurological community. Central to this Project is the creation of common definitions and data sets so that information (data) is consistently captured and recorded across studies. To harmonize data collected from clinical studies, the NINDS Office of Clinical Research is spearheading the effort to develop CDEs in neuroscience. This Web site outlines these data standards and provides accompanying tools to help investigators and research teams collect and record standardized clinical data. The Institute still encourages creativity and uniqueness by allowing investigators to independently identify and add their own critical variables. The CDEs have been identified through review of the documentation of numerous studies funded by NINDS, review of the literature and regulatory requirements, and review of other Institute''s common data efforts. Other data standards such as those of the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC), the Clinical Data Acquisition Standards Harmonization (CDASH) Initiative, ClinicalTrials.gov, the NINDS Genetics Repository, and the NIH Roadmap efforts have also been followed to ensure that the NINDS CDEs are comprehensive and as compatible as possible with those standards. CDEs now available: * General (CDEs that cross diseases) Updated Feb. 2011! * Congenital Muscular Dystrophy * Epilepsy (Updated Sept 2011) * Friedreich''s Ataxia * Parkinson''s Disease * Spinal Cord Injury * Stroke * Traumatic Brain Injury CDEs in development: * Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Public review Sept 15 through Nov 15) * Frontotemporal Dementia * Headache * Huntington''s Disease * Multiple Sclerosis * Neuromuscular Diseases ** Adult and pediatric working groups are being finalized and these groups will focus on: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, Myasthenia Gravis, Myotonic Dystrophy, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy The following tools are available through this portal: * CDE Catalog - includes the universe of all CDEs. Users are able to search the full universe to isolate a subset of the CDEs (e.g., all stroke-specific CDEs, all pediatric epilepsy CDEs, etc.) and download details about those CDEs. * CRF Library - (a.k.a., Library of Case Report Form Modules and Guidelines) contains all the CRF Modules that have been created through the NINDS CDE Project as well as various guideline documents. Users are able to search the library to find CRF Modules and Guidelines of interest. * Form Builder - enables users to start the process of assembling a CRF or form by allowing them to choose the CDEs they would like to include on the form. This tool is intended to assist data managers and database developers to create data dictionaries for their study forms.

At neuroade, a Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, we study change in brain and behavior across multiple time-scales. Researchers in the lab combine a variety of methodologies to answer specific questions about typical and atypical behavior and development. We use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), peripheral psychophysiology (such as skin conductance responses), behavioral testing, genotyping analysis, and computational modeling. Most of our work takes place at the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN), and we all live in the Department of Psychology at the University of Reading. Our research is divided into several distinct yet highly interlinked themes, all converging in their application to understanding psychopathology -- summarised here in no particular order: * Decision-making and the Evaluation of Decision Outcomes * Dimensions of Impulsivity as a Foraging Strategy * Adolescent Development * Computational Modeling Probes of Individual Differences

Tools for the integration of data from various sources (public and confidential), for the generation and validation of computer models for toxic effects, libraries for the development and seamless integration of new algorithms, and scientifically sound validation routines. The goal of OpenTox is to develop an interoperable predictive toxicology framework which may be used as an enabling platform for the creation of predictive toxicology applications. OpenTox is relevent for users from a variety of research areas: Toxicological and chemical experts (e.g. risk assessors, drug designers, researchers) computer model developers and algorithm developers non specialists requiring access to Predictive Toxicology models and data OpenTox applications can combine multiple web services providing users access to distributed toxicological resources including data, computer models, validation and reporting. Applications are based on use cases that satisfy user needs in predictive toxicology. OpenTox was initiated as a collaborative project involving a combination of different enterprise, university and government research groups to design and build the initial OpenTox framework. Additionally numerous organizations with industry, regulatory or expert interests are active in providing guidance and direction. The goal is to expand OpenTox as a community project enabling additional expert and user participants to be involved in developments in as timely a manner as possible. To this end, our mission is to carry out developments in an open and transparent manner from the early days of the project, and to open up discussions and development to the global community at large, who may either participate in developments or provide user perspectives. Cooperation on data standards, data integration, ontologies, integration of algorithm predictions from different methods, and testing and validation all have significant collaboration opportunities and benefits for the community. OpenTox is working to meet the requirements of the REACH legislation using alternative testing methods to contribute to the reduction of animal experiments for toxicity testing. Relevant international authorities (e.g., ECB, ECVAM, US EPA, US FDA) and industry organizations participate actively in the advisory board of the OpenTox project and provide input for the continuing development of requirement definitions and standards for data, knowledge and model exchange. OpenTox actively supports the development and validation of in silico models and algorithms by improving the interoperability between individual systems (common standards for data and model exchange), increasing the reproducibility of in silico models (by providing a quality source of structures, toxicity data and algorithms) and by providing scientifically sound and easy-to-use validation routines. OpenTox is committed to the support and integration of alternative testing methods using in vitro assay approaches, systems biology, stem cell technology, and the mining and analysis of human epidemiological data. Hence the framework design must take into account extensibility to satisfy a broad range of scientific developments and use cases.

The Talairach brain atlas visualized via BrainVoyager (Commercial software) can be used to visualize Brodmann areas as they were defined for the Talairach brain (Talairach & Tournaux, 1988) and to compare regions of subjects with respect to the Brodmann areas. The demarcated areas are based on the Talairach demon, which is a digitized version of the Talairach atlas and which has been transferred into BrainVoyager VOI files by Matthias Ruf, Mannheim. Using the Brodman.voi file you may ask questions like the following: What is the signal time course of subject N in experiment A within Brodmann area X ?. Note, however, that the defined areal boundaries should be used only as a rough guideline for determining the location of activated regions: There is substantial variation of histologically defined areas between subjects. Since cytoarchitectonically defined Brodmann areas are not available in vivo, we advise to use the provided information with care. The TalairachBrain.vmr file is located in the same folder as your BrainVoyager executable file. It can be loaded as any VMR project by using the Open... item in the File menu (or the Open icon). The TalairachBrain.vmr file is also loaded automatically when using the glass brain visualization tool.
