http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/Main_Page

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 10, 2025. Semantic wiki with structured information, primarily from functional and molecular neuroimaging papers, but there are also other types of papers, e.g., from personality genetics. It lists results from neuroimaging studies, such as Talairach coordinates and brain volume measurements, as well as software packages and brain regions. SQL dumps of the structured information in the wiki is available so complex queries can be formed. The Brede Wiki templates store the structured information from neuroscience papers and editors may add free format text. Template definitions format the data so it is presented as tables on the formatted wiki-page. From a given PMID a web-service can format information from PubMed for inclusion in the Brede Wiki. A Matlab script can extract coordinates from SPM5 and format them in the Talairach coordinate template format.

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

An international working group dedicated to improving access to neuroimaging results in a free and open-access manner. It seeks to establish a universal coordinate database, including both past papers and future studies. Their current project involves the creation of a comprehensive database of neuroimaging results searchable based on standardized coordinates. Once complete, this will allow anyone to find all of the articles that report a coordinate, or set of coordinates, easily and without cost. Eventually, they hope to expand this database to include not only coordinates, but statistical parametric maps as well. Formation of such a database will increase the likelihood of relevant papers being found and cited, and also be a very useful tool for those interested in meta-analysis, and hopefully clarify structure-function relationships. They are interested in hearing from people who might be willing to contribute to their projects, particularly those with programming experience. The number of published neuroimaging studies is increasing rapidly and it is not feasible to read them all. If a computer database could store key information from published fMRI papers and make that information easier to search or share, this would have substantial benefits for the neuroimaging community. Projects like AMAT, Brainmap, Brede and SumsDB have started to tackle this problem. NIDAG wants to formalize and improve these databases so that they meet the needs of the neuroimaging community. Formal meta-analysis of published data is a valuable way to assess the consistency and reliability of experimental results. A database of neuroimaging results would facilitate meta-analyses, in conjunction with tools like GingerALE and Multi-level Kernel Density Analysis.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/atp

Autism research program that makes available post-mortem brain tissue to qualified scientists all over the world. Working directly with tissue banks, organ procurement agencies, medical examiners and the general public, this is the largest program dedicated to increasing and enhancing the availability of post-mortem brain tissue for basic research in autism. To date, the ATP has collected and stored more than 170 brains in their repositories at Harvard (US) and Oxford (UK). These brains are processed by formalin fixation and/or snap frozen to properly provide high quality tissue of all brain regions, in support of biological research in autism. The ATP is unique in that they diligently pursue all available clinical data (pre and post mortem) on tissue donors in order to create the most biologically relevant brain repository for autism research. These data, together with tissue resources from both banks and associated repositories, are presented to all interested researchers through their extensive web-based data portal (login required). The ATP is not a brain bank, but works directly with the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center in Boston (HBTRC), Massachusetts to serve as its tissue repository. This program augments brain bank functions by: * Creating the most biologically relevant brain tissue repository possible * Fully covering all costs associated with brain extraction and transfer to the repositories at Harvard (US and Canada) and Oxford (UK). * Providing scientific oversight of tissue distributions * Overseeing and managing all tissue grants * Clinically phenotyping and acquiring extensive medical data on all of their donors * Providing continuing family support and communication to all of their donors * Directly supporting researchers to facilitate autism research * Maintaining a robust web based data management and secure on-line global interface system * Developing and supporting ATP established scientific initiatives * Actively providing public outreach and education The ATP is not a clinical organ procurement agency, but rather they facilitate the wishes of donors and families to donate their tissue to autism research. Through the ATP's established international infrastructure, they work with any accredited tissue bank, organ procurement agency, or medical examiner that receives a family's request to donate their loved one's tissue to the program. Once contacted, the ATP will insure that the family's request to donate their loved one's tissue is faithfully met, covering all costs to the family and partnering agency as well as ensuring the tissues' proper and rapid transport to the ATP's repository at the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center (HBTRC) in Boston, Massachusetts.
