Software application which computes cortical three-dimensional distribution of current density of the brain based on the scalp-recorded electric potential distribution. The exact low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography method has the property of exact localization to test point sources, yielding images of current density with exact localization, albeit with low spatial resolution. eLORETA has no localization bias even in the presence of structured noise. Deep structures, such as the anterior cingulate cortex and mesial temporal lobes, can be correctly localized with these methods.

CATs Tower of London test is a free, computer-based software test originally developed by Shallice (1982) to investigate problem solving in subjects with damage to the frontal lobes. The CATs Tower of London Test comes with one preprogrammed test along with extensive normative data for that test. You can also create a test using your design. Briefly, subjects are required to move colored beads from a window on the left (working area) until they achieve the arrangement in the window on the right (goal position). Subjects are instructed to try to achieve the goal arrangement in as few moves as possible. The software contains a Tower of London test. The test contains trials with 3 beads and 3 pegs, 4 beads and 4 pegs, and 5 beads and 5 pegs. You can use the Setup screen to create a test using your design. A test can contain 3, 4, and 5 bead problems with varying number of moves required for the optimal solution. In Shallice's initial investigation using the Tower of London, patients with damage to the left anterior frontal lobe demonstrated impaired planning (i.e., greater number of moves required for solution). Patients with damage to the right anterior, and left or right posterior areas of the frontal lobes were not impaired. Thus, results from this initial study provided support for the view that the left anterior frontal lobe area is involved in the planning required for solving the Tower of London test. Recent studies using neuroimaging techniques support this notion. Studies using regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) imaging indicate an involvement of the left frontal lobes in the planning required for successfully completing the Tower of London puzzle. Studies of patients with damage to the frontal lobes indicate less cortical specificity, but are consistent with the view that the frontal lobes are involved in the planning required for solving this puzzle.

Project to generate human DNA promoters of less than 4 kb (MiniPromoters) to drive gene expression in defined brain regions of therapeutic interest for diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, Huntington, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Multiple Sclerosis, Spinocerebellar Ataxia, Depression, Autism, and Cancer. Project develops and shares tools like human MiniPromoters that drive region- and cell-specific gene expression in the mouse brain, expression constructs, mouse embryonic stem cell lines, and knock-in mice all of which carry brain-specific MiniPromoters. Project is daughter of Genome Canada Project, Atlas of Gene Expression in Mouse Development, within which mouse brain gene expression data have already been gathered. Project team has collaborated with International BioPharma Solutions Ltd., management and communications consulting company specializing in product development and commercialization advice. Project will explore challenging interface between science and journalism with focus on genomics and gene therapy.

Banyan Biomarkers was founded in 2002 by Ron Hayes, PhD , Kevin Wang, PhD, and Nancy Denslow, PhD to create the first Point of Care (POC) Blood Test to diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to diagnose neurological diseases. Initially inspired by research conducted at the University of Florida and The Evelyn F. and William McKnight Brain Institute, Banyan Biomarkers has made significant progress in developing and clinically validating novel enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for traumatic brain injury (TBI). Banyan scientists have created an extensive pipeline of potential biomarkers and the company has a robust intellectual property portfolio. Jackson Streeter, Banyan''s CEO, has extensive experience in development of medical devices for acute brain injury. Currently no blood test exists for use by physicians to detect the presence and severity of brain trauma. Banyan Biomarkers'' research has identified unique and proprietary biomarkers present in the patient''s blood following injury to the brain. The detection and quantification of these biomarkers may provide early indications of brain trauma essential for earlier intervention and management. Banyan Biomarkers, Inc. offers preclinical and clinical sample analyses with a proven panel of neurological, psychiatric, neurodegenerative disease, and organ toxicity biomarker assays. The company provides analytical services to a wide range of customers including pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies and investigators at academic research institutes.

https://www.nitrc.org/projects/rshrf

Software toolbox for resting state HRF estimation and deconvolution analysis. Matlab and Python toolbox that implements HRF estimation and deconvolution from resting state BOLD signal. Used to retrieve optimal lag between events and HRF onset, as well as HRF shape. Once that HRF has been retrieved for each voxel/vertex, it can be deconvolved from time series or one can map shape parameters everywhere in brain and use it as pathophysiological indicator. Input can be 2D GIfTI, 3D or 4D NIfTI images, but also on time series matrices/vectors. Output are three HRF shape parameters for each voxel/vertex, plus deconvolved time series, and number of retrieved pseudo events. All can be written back to GIfTI or NIfTI images.
