Produce new neurological mouse models that could serve as experimental models for the exploration of basic neurobiological mechanisms and diseases. The impetus for the program resulted from the recognition that: * The value of genomic data would remain limited unless more information about the functionality of its individual components became available. * The task of linking genes to specific behavior would best be accomplished by employing a combination of different approaches. In an effort to complement already existing programs, the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility decided to use: a random, genome-wide approach to mutagenesis, i.e.N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) as the mutagen; a three-generation back-cross breeding scheme to focus on the detection of recessive mutations; behavioral screens selective for the detection of phenotypes deemed useful for the program goals. The resulting mutant mouse lines have been available to the scientific community for the last five years and over 700 NMF mice have been sent to interested investigators for research; these mutant mouse lines will remain available as frozen embryos (which can be re-derived on request) and can be ordered through the JAX customer service at 1-800-422-6423 (or 207-288-5845). The results of the work of the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility and that of two other neurogenesis centers, i.e. The Neurogenomics Project at Northwestern University, and the Neuromutagenesis Project of the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium, can also be seen at Neuromice.org, a common web site of these three research centers; in addition, information about all mutants produced by these groups has been recorded in MGI.

Completed studies encompass over 175 phenotypes across 530 projects and 620,000 samples. The impact is evidenced by over 380 peer-reviewed papers published in 100 journals. Three pathways exist to access the CIDR genotyping facility: * NIH CIDR Program: The CIDR contract is funded by 14 NIH Institutes and provides genotyping and statistical genetic services to investigators approved for access through competitive peer review. An application is required for projects supported by the NIH CIDR Program. * The HTS Facility: The High Throughput Sequencing Facility, part of the Johns Hopkins Genetic Resources Core Facility, provides next generation sequencing services to internal JHU investigators and external scientists on a fee-for-service basis. * The JHU SNP Center: The SNP Center, part of the Johns Hopkins Genetic Resources Core Facility, provides genotyping to internal JHU investigators and external scientists on a fee-for-service basis. Data computation service is included to cover the statistical genetics services provided for investigators seeking to identify genes that contribute to human disease.

A nationwide public health clinical trial conducted to determine the effectiveness of different treatments for people with major depression, in both primary and specialty care settings, who have not responded to initial treatment with an antidepressant. This is the largest and longest study ever done to evaluate depression treatment. The study is completed and no longer recruiting participants. Each of the four levels of the study tested a different medication or medication combination. The primary goal of each level was to determine if the treatment used during that level could adequately treat participants����?? major depressive disorder (MDD). Those who did not become symptom-free could proceed to the next level of treatment. The design of the STAR*D study reflects what is done in clinical practice because it allowed study participants to choose certain treatment strategies most acceptable to them and limited the randomization of each participant only to his/her range of acceptable treatment strategies. No prior studies have evaluated the different treatment strategies in broadly defined participant groups treated in diverse care settings. Over a seven-year period, the study enrolled 4,041 outpatients, ages 18-75 years, from 41 clinical sites around the country, which included both specialty care settings and primary medical care settings. Participants represented a broad range of ethnic and socioeconomic groups. All participants were diagnosed with MDD, were already seeking care at one of these sites, and were referred to the trial by their doctors. * STAR*D Study Medications: Citalopram (Celexa), Sertraline (Zoloft), Bupropion SR (Wellbutrin SR), Venlafaxine XR (Effexor XR), Buspirone (BuSpar), Mirtazapine (Remeron), Triiodothyronine (T3) (Cytomel), Nortriptyline (Pamelor, Aventyl), Tranylcypromine (Parnate), Lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) *STAR*D Talk Therapy:Cognitive Therapy

http://grey.colorado.edu/emergent

emergent is a comprehensive, full-featured neural network simulator that allows for the creation and analysis of complex, sophisticated models of the brain in the world. With an emphasis on qualitative analysis and teaching, it also supports the workflow of professional neural network researchers. Its high level drag-and-drop programming interface, built on top of a scripting language that has full introspective access to all aspects of networks and the software itself, allows one to write programs that seamlessly weave together the training of a network and evolution of its environment without ever typing out a line of code. Networks and all of their state variables are visually inspected in 3d, allowing for a quick visual regression of network dynamics and robot behavior. This same 3d world sports a highly accurate Newtonian physics simulation, allowing you to create rich robotics simulations (for example, a car). As a direct descendant of PDP (1986) and PDP (1999), emergent has been in development for decades. In the most recent versions available strive to distill it down to its essential elements. Those that take the time to learn the best practices will be rewarded with the ability to create and understand the most complicated neural models ever published.

NIMH recognizes the need to consider safety and ethical issues related to both the administration of MR (magnetic resonance) facilities and the use of these facilities for research. This document summarizes the points to consider discussed by the National Advisory Mental Health Council (NAMHC) Workgroup. Examples of safe and ethical practices are discussed in relation to several issues. These examples are intended to be illustrative and should not be interpreted as an exhaustive or exclusive list. This document was presented to the full NIMH Council on September 15, 2006 and approved unanimously. By making the points to consider document available publicly, NIMH intends to provide a resource for researchers and institutions that use MRI in research. The agenda was organized into six topics, which provide the organization for the points to consider that follow: A. MRI screening B. Training, operating, and emergency procedures C. Physical facilities D. Scanning/participant health variables E. Context- Specific Considerations: University vs. medical settings F. Additional data needs and updating The NIMH believes that investigators, institutions and facilities can use this document as a resource for the development, administration, evaluation, and use of MRI research facilities.
