The 16 affiliated Model System centers throughout the United States are responsible for gathering and submitting the core data set to the national database as well as conducting research studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI) both in collaboration with the other centers and within our own site. Through our research we hope to learn more about TBI and about the issues and concerns of people with TBI. Our goals are to improve the outcome and quality of life for people who have had brain injuries and for those who are caring for the person with a TBI. The North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (NT-TBIMS) pools the efforts and talents of individuals from the Departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Psychiatry (Neuropsychiatry), and Neuroradiology of the two leading medical institutions in the North Texas region. To be a patient involved in the research being conducted by the North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model System you must have suffered a TBI, be at least 16 years of age, have received initial treatment for the TBI at either Parkland Health and Hospital System or Baylor University Medical Center and then have received rehabilitative care at either Parkland, University Hospital Zale-Lipshy, or Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation. The patient must also be able to understand and sign an informed consent to participate or, if unable, have a family member or a legal guardian who understands the form sign the informed consent for the patient.

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

http://med.stanford.edu/narcolepsy.html

The Stanford Center for Narcolepsy was established in the 1980s as part of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Today, it is the world leader in narcolepsy research with more than 100 articles on narcolepsy to its name. The Stanford Center for Narcolepsy was the first to report that narcolepsy-cataplexy is caused by hypocretin (orexin) abnormalities in both animal models and humans. Under the direction of Drs. Emmanuel Mignot and Seiji Nishino, the Stanford Center for Narcolepsy today treats several hundred patients with the disorder each year, many of whom participate in various research protocols. Other research protocols are conducted in animal models of narcolespy. We are always looking for volunteers in our narcolepsy research studies. We are presently recruiting narcoleptic patients for genetic studies, drug clinical trials, hypocretin measurement studies in the CSF and functional MRI studies. Monetary gifts to the Center for Narcolepsy are welcome. If you wish to make the ultimate gift, please consider participating in our Brain Donation Program. To advance our understanding of the cause, course, and treatment of narcolepsy, in 2001 Stanford University started a program to obtain human brain tissue for use in narcolepsy research. Donated brains provide an invaluable resource and we have already used previously donated brains to demonstrate that narcolepsy is caused by a lack of a very specific type of cell in the brain, the hypocretin (orexin) neuron. While the brain donations do not directly help the donor, they provide an invaluable resource and a gift to others. The real answers as to what causes or occurrs in the brain when one has narcolepsy will only be definitively understood through the study of brain tissue. Through these precious donations, narcolepsy may eventually be prevented or reversible. We currently are seeking brains from people with narcolepsy (with cataplexy and without), idiopathic hypersomnia and controls or people without a diagnosed sleep disorder of excessive sleepiness. Control brains are quite important to research, as findings must always be compared to tissue of a non-affected person. Friends and loved ones of people who suffer with narcoleps may wish to donate to our program to help fill this very important need. Refer to the Movies tab for movies of Narcolepsy / Cataplexy.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Software to support registering brain images to the stereotaxic coordinate system of a brain atlas. It was specifically designed to work with the large scale brain mosaics. When data are uploaded to the CCDB, users may launch Jibber, a custom tool for defining correspondence points between the image and an atlas overlay. Jibber automatically downsamples the data, so that users can define the warping and scaling parameters with good interactive performance on the smaller copy. Once the warping transformation is computed, the original image and the transformation matrix are sent to a cluster of computers for warping. The current version of Jetsam is running on a 30 Sun V20 nodes and the execution time is roughly about 20 minutes per GB. The warped images are then automatically registered with an image web server that supports spatial queries based on stereotaxic coordinates. These servers generate optimized downsampled images, which can be displayed by standard online clients regardless of the size of the original image.

Suite of programs developed for fMRI analysis in a Virtual Pipeline Laboratory facilitates combining program modules from different software packages into processing pipelines to create analysis solutions which are not possible with a single software package alone. Current pipelines include fMRI analysis, statistical testing based on randomization methods and fractal spectral analysis. Pipelines are continually being added. The software is mostly written in C. This fMRI analysis package supports batch processing and comprises the following general functions at the first level of individual image analysis: movement correction (interpolation and regression), time series modeling, data resampling in the wavelet domain, hypothesis testing at voxel and cluster levels. Additionally, there is code for second level analysis - group and factorial or ANOVA mapping - after co-registration of voxel statistic maps from individual images in a standard space. The main point of difference from other fMRI analysis packages is the emphasis throughout on the use of data resampling (permutation or randomization) as a basis for inference on individual, group and factorial test statistics at voxel and cluster levels of resolution.

MIALAB, headed by Dr. Vince Calhoun, focuses on developing and optimizing methods and software for quantitative analysis of structure and function in medical images with particular focus on the study of psychiatric illness. We work with many types of data, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), electroencephalography (EEG), structural imaging and genetic data. Much of our time is spent working on new methods for flexible analysis of brain imaging data. The use of data driven approaches is very useful for extracting potentially unpredictable patterns within these data. However such methods can be further improved by incorporating additional prior information as constraints, in order to benefit from what we know. To this end, we draw heavily from the areas of image processing, adaptive signal processing, estimation theory, neural networks, statistical signal processing, and pattern recognition.
