BRAID Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
BRAID (RRID:SCR_008702) | BRAID | data or information resource, source code, database, software resource, image | Large-scale archive of normalized digital spatial and functional data with an analytical query mechanism. One of its many applications is the elucidation of brain structure-function relationships. BRAID stores spatially defined data from digital brain images which have been mapped into normalized Cartesian coordinates, allowing image data from large populations of patients to be combined and compared. The database also contains neurological data from each patient and a query mechanism that can perform statistical structure-function correlations. The project is developing database technology for the manipulation and analysis of 3-dimensional brain images derived from MRI, PET, CT, etc. BRAID is based on the PostgreSQL server, an object/relational DBMS, which allows a standard relational DBMS to be augmented with application-specific datatypes and operators. The BRAID project is adding operations and datatypes to support querying, manipulation and analysis of 3D medical images, including: * Image Datatypes: BRAID supports a family of 3D image datatypes, each having an abstract type and an implementation type. Abstract types include boolean (for regions of interest), integer, float, vector (for representing morphological changes), tensor (for representing derivatives and standard deviations of vector images) and color. Implementation types at present include line-segment format and voxel array. * Image Operators: BRAID supports addition of images, multiplication (which is interpreted as intersection for boolean images), coercion of an image''s abstract or implementation type to another value, and determination of volumes of regions of interest. * Statistical Operators: A chi-squared test has been added to SQL as an aggregate operator on pairs of boolean values. * Web Interface: A general-purpose Web gateway allows the results of queries that return computed images to be displayed.

Neuropathology of CTE and Delayed Effects of TBI: Toward In-Vivo Diagnostics Resource Report Resource Website |
Neuropathology of CTE and Delayed Effects of TBI: Toward In-Vivo Diagnostics (RRID:SCR_012951) | Neuropathology of CTE and Delayed Effects of TBI: Toward In-Vivo Diagnostics | data or information resource, topical portal, disease-related portal, research forum portal, portal | A multi-center and multi-disciplinary study designed to dramatically increase understanding of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and other late effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Overlapping clinical features, postmortem pathologies and patterns of involvement exist in TBI, CTE, and Alzheimer''s disease pose challenges to accurate diagnosis. Premortem diagnosis of CTE is currently impossible. The neuropathological consequences of single mild or moderate-severe TBI and its relationship with CTE and known dementias are unclear. The proposed project will leverage extensive resources from an ongoing population-based prospective cohort study of brain aging (Adult Changes in Thought; ACT, n=2,305) which includes excellent medical, behavioral, and genetic characterization of a cohort (20% of whom have a history of mild-moderate TBI) in addition to state-of-the-art neuropathology workup upon death. Neuropathological study of TBI effects can begin immediately in the existing ACT autopsy sample (n=489, 20% with TBI exposure). Additional cohorts of TBI- exposed individuals will come from the Brain Injury Research Center at Mount Sinai (n=150 individuals with moderate-severe TBI), the University of Texas Southwestern (n=50 retired boxers with repetitive TBI exposure), and the National Football League (n=76 retired players with repetitive TBI exposure). All participants in the proposed study (ACT and other sites) will undergo uniform harmonized neurobehavioral assessment (chosen to maximize correspondence with existing large-scale TBI and dementia studies), MRI scan, and genomic analysis. Those individuals who expire during the course of the study will undergo ex-vivo neuroimaging and extensive neuropathological exam using state-of-the-art techniques (such as Histelide) designed to quantify tau and A�� in whole brain specimens. Only by examining postmortem pathology in a sample of individuals with varying levels of TBI exposure who are well characterized during life (as proposed herein) can postmortem pathology facilitate identification of in-vivo biomarkers that can act as diagnostic tools. This project represents the most systematic and scientifically rigorous effort to date to develop a more complete understanding of the long-term clinical and neuropathological sequelae of single and multiple TBI. | cognitive decline, health decline, dementia, symptom, incidence, prevalence, risk factor, causal role, multifocal tauopathy, neuropathology, neuroimaging, brain, biomarker, diagnosis, clinical | has parent organization: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; New York; USA | Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Traumatic brain injury, Aging | nlx_156787 | SCR_012951 | Neuropathology of CTE and Late Effects of TBI: Toward In-Vivo Diagnostics, Neuropathology of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Late Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Toward In-Vivo Diagnostics | 2026-02-17 10:02:19 | 0 | |||||||
