A brain bank which collects postmortem human brains to meet the needs of neuroscientists investigating specific psychiatric and neurological disorders. NYBB disburses tissue samples to investigating clinicians or scientists whose research has been approved by their Institutional Review Board. The tasks of the NYBB include: collection and processing of human postmortem brain samples for research; neuropathological evaluation and diagnosis; storage and computerized inventory of brain samples; and distribution of brain samples to investigating clinicians and scientists. Brains from individuals without neurological or psychiatric disorders are used as normal controls.

An open international project under the patronage of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) that aims: To analyze the brain proteome of human as well as mouse models in healthy, neurodiseased and aged status with focus on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease; To perform quantitative proteomics as well as complementary gene expression profiling on disease-related brain areas and bodily fluids; To advance knowledge of neurodiseases and aging in order to push new diagnostic approaches and medications; To exchange knowledge and data with other HUPO projects and national / international initiatives in the neuroproteomic field; To make neuroproteomic research and its results available in the scientific community and society. Recent work has shown that standards in proteomics and especially in bioinformatics are mandatory to allow comparable analyses, but still missing. To address this challenge, the HUPO BPP is closely working together with the HUPO Proteome Standards Initiative (HUPO PSI).

A brain bank and biospecimen repository that provides research materials to clinicians, scientists and pathologists in South Carolina. The bank provides both control and diseased biospecimens and brain tissue needed for research in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other related neurological disorders. The Campbell Laboratory coordinates the brain tissue donation program, provides post-mortem confirmation of a patient having neurological disorders, and leads research trials. Any South Carolina resident can choose to sign up as a tissue donor and have their brain tissue donated post-mortem to be used for neurological disorder research. The tissue bank will process and analyze these tissue samples and send the results to the deceased person's family.

An open source MATLAB toolbox designed for detecting and quantifying White Matter Hyperintensities(WMH) in Alzheimer?s and aging related neurological disorders.Our toolbox provides a self-sufficient set of tools for segmenting these WMHs reliably and further quantifying their burden for down-processing studies. WMHs arise as bright regions on T2-weighted FLAIR images. They reflect comorbid neural injury or cerebral vascular disease burden. Their precise detection is of interest in Alzheimer?s disease (AD) with regard to its prognosis.
