The Johns Hopkins NIMH Center is comprised of an interdisciplinary research team who has pooled their talents to study the nature of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). Their aim is to translate discoveries of the pathophysiological mechanisms into novel therapeutics for HAND. Objectives * To integrate aspects of ongoing research in HAND and SIV encephalitis * Develop high-throughput and screening assays for identifying novel therapeutic compounds * Use proteomics and lipidomics approaches to indentifying surrogate markers of disease activity * Disseminate information and education about HAND through existing and new educational systems, including the JHU AIDS Education Training Center and the JHU Center for Global Clinical Education * Facilitate the entry of new investigators into Neuro-AIDS research, and to catalyze new areas of research, particularly where relevant for drug discovery or the development of validated surrogate markers

http://www.loni.usc.edu/ICBM/

A probabilistic reference system for the human brain, including tools to establish this reference system for structural and functional anatomy on both macroscopic (in vivo) and microscopic (post mortem) levels. The project has expanded the neuroinformatics tools for data sharing and created a Conforming Site System that allows laboratories worldwide to contribute data to the evolving atlas. Through the implementation of the ICBM data sharing policy space, they are fostering data exchange while still providing for scientific credit assignment and subject confidentiality. The ICBM atlas collection consists of the ICBM Template, a tool developed to provide a reference that includes both a set of coordinates and the associated anatomical labels; the ICBM 452 T1 atlas, an average of T1-weighted MRIs of normal young adult brains, the ICBM probabilistic atlases, and the newly released Cytoarchitectonic Atlas. The ICBM Subject Database is a web-based database infrastructure that simplifies image dataset collection, organization and dissemination. A web interface provides the means to query the data base using a combination of subject demographics and scan-related attributes. Authorized users may view representations of the data and form collections of datasets that can be downloaded or fed directly into the Pipeline environment for distributed processing and analysis. The current releases of ICBM related software are available for use by researchers. Links are provided to the various download sites. New releases are continually being tested and evaluated.

http://neuronbank.org/wiki/

Wiki for Neuroscientists to describe neurons and neural circuitry. Registered users may edit. The ultimate goal is advance the field of Neuromics by creating an encyclopedia of neurons and neural circuitry. NOTE: The database is no longer being maintained due to lack of funding. All of the information about the neurons is available on the NeuronBank Wiki. NeuronBank organizes information about identified neuron location, physiology, morphology, and connectivity, and helps researchers to browse through known circuits, conduct comparative work between species, and classify new cell types. The NeuronBank BranchKB produces a web-based knowledge management system that can be easily customized to handle information about any type of nervous system. NeuronBank will serve as a repository for new observations of identified neurons and their synaptic connections. Importantly, new observations will be uniquely citable and credited to the reporting lab. NeuronBank Central will provide searches across published species databases. This federated knowledge-management system pushes forward several innovative computer science technologies and will serve an important need in the neuroscience community. Nervous systems from different species will be represented in different branches. Users can search within one branch or search across branches for features of neurons and neural circuits.

Cognitive deficits -- including impairments in areas such as memory, attention, and executive function -- are a major determinant and predictor of long-term disability in schizophrenia. Unfortunately, available antipsychotic medications are relatively ineffective in improving cognition. Scientific discoveries during the past decade suggest that there may be opportunities for developing medications that will be effective for improving cognition in schizophrenia. The NIMH has identified obstacles that are likely to interfere with the development of pharmacological agents for treating cognition in schizophrenia. These include: (1) a lack of a consensus as to how cognition in schizophrenia should be measured; (2) differing opinions as to the pharmacological approaches that are most promising; (3) challenges in clinical trial design; (4) concerns in the pharmaceutical industry regarding the US Food and Drug Administration''s (FDA) approaches to drug approval for this indication; and (5) issues in developing a research infrastructure that can carry out clinical trials of promising drugs. The MATRICS program will bring together representatives of academia, industry, and government in a consensus process for addressing all of these obstacles. Specific goals of the NIMH MATRICS are: * To catalyze regulatory acceptance of cognition in schizophrenia as a target for drug registration. * To promote development of novel compounds to enhance cognition in schizophrenia. * Leverage economic research power of industry to focus on important but neglected clinical targets. * Identify lead compounds and if deemed feasible, support human proof of concept trials for cognition in schizophrenia.

NIMH recognizes the need to consider safety and ethical issues related to both the administration of MR (magnetic resonance) facilities and the use of these facilities for research. This document summarizes the points to consider discussed by the National Advisory Mental Health Council (NAMHC) Workgroup. Examples of safe and ethical practices are discussed in relation to several issues. These examples are intended to be illustrative and should not be interpreted as an exhaustive or exclusive list. This document was presented to the full NIMH Council on September 15, 2006 and approved unanimously. By making the points to consider document available publicly, NIMH intends to provide a resource for researchers and institutions that use MRI in research. The agenda was organized into six topics, which provide the organization for the points to consider that follow: A. MRI screening B. Training, operating, and emergency procedures C. Physical facilities D. Scanning/participant health variables E. Context- Specific Considerations: University vs. medical settings F. Additional data needs and updating The NIMH believes that investigators, institutions and facilities can use this document as a resource for the development, administration, evaluation, and use of MRI research facilities.

Brain Basics provides information on how the brain works, how mental illnesses are disorders of the brain, and ongoing research that helps us better understand and treat disorders. Mental disorders are common. You may have a friend, colleague, or relative with a mental disorder, or perhaps you have experienced one yourself at some point. Such disorders include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and many others. Some people who develop a mental illness may recover completely; others may have repeated episodes of illness with relatively stable periods in between. Still others live with symptoms of mental illness every day. They can be moderate, or serious and cause severe disability. Through research, we know that mental disorders are brain disorders. Evidence shows that they can be related to changes in the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the nervous system. When the brain cannot effectively coordinate the billions of cells in the body, the results can affect many aspects of life. Scientists are continually learning more about how the brain grows and works in healthy people, and how normal brain development and function can go awry, leading to mental illnesses. Brain Basics will introduce you to some of this science, such as: * How the brain develops * How genes and the environment affect the brain * The basic structure of the brain * How different parts of the brain communicate and work with each other * How changes in the brain can lead to mental disorders, such as depression.
