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

Graphical user interface that has been implemented as a 3D Slicer plugin (scripted module). It serves to display a corresponding set of cortical regions from functional connectivity matrix in an explorable 3D scene that represents brain anatomical environment. In addition to grey matter regions, MultiXplore automatically finds and extracts deterministic fiber bundles which exist between selected region(s) and adds them to the 3D environment. This feature helps in generating region-based fiber bundles given a desired whole-brain tractography data.

Dataset consisting of a community sample of individuals ranging in age from 18 to 60 years old with at least two 7.5-minute resting state fMRI scans. During the resting state scan participants were instructed to relax while keeping their eyes open. In part of the sample eye status was randomized between scans. The particular eye status for each scan is indicated in the phenotypic information. No visual stimulus was presented. A subset of participants completed the ICS and PANAS affective behavior scales. The following data are released for every participant: * Scanner Type: Siemens, 3T Trio Tim * 7.5-minute resting state fMRI scan (R-fMRI) * MPRAGE anatomical scan, defaced to protect patient confidentiality * Demographic information, inluding ICS and PANAS scores (included in the release file).

http://pivotcollections.org/collection.html

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 4th, 2023. Mouse brains displayed in the Microsoft Silverlight PivotViewer from the Mouse Brain Library (MBL) which consist of high-resolution images of brains from many genetically characterized strains of mice. PivotViewer makes it easier to interact with massive amounts of data on the web in ways that are powerful, informative, and fun. By visualizing thousands of related items at once, users can see trends and patterns that would be hidden when looking at one item at a time. Because PivotViewer leverages Deep Zoom, it displays full, high-resolution content without long load times, while the animations and natural transitions provide context and prevent users from feeling overwhelmed by large quantities of information. This simple, inviting interaction model encourages exploration and longer audience engagement times, and applies broadly to a variety of content types.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. The center serves the biomedical research community's increased needs for alternative invertebrate models by maintaining a consistent year-round supply of live cephalopod mollusks. These animals are suitable for a wide range of physiological and molecular biological investigations. Investigations are being conducted in the area of life history related to improved animal husbandry. Further studies focus on improving culture system design through development of computer automation and innovative water filtration technology. Current biomedical research on cephalopods includes neurophysiology of the giant axon; anatomy and neurophysiology of the equilibrium receptor organ as a comparative model of the vestibular system of invertebrates; chemoreception, basic nutrition, and protein metabolism; cellular receptor function; and brain, behavior, and learning. Services Provided: The center has built a computer-automated, environmentally controlled, recirculating seawater laboratory for the purpose of culturing cephalopods. The tank systems can be used to conduct a variety of experiments never before possible with cephalopods. Visiting researchers have access to dedicated facilities, including wet and dry laboratory space, office space, computer support and accommodations, as well as priority access to all available live animal resources. Off-site investigators can have live animals, dissected animal tissues/body fluids from all life stages, and a variety of molecular reagents (gene libraries and clones) delivered year-round. Staff expertise and an extensive literature library are available. All life stages of the squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) and the common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) are available year-round from laboratory culture populations. The sepiolid squid (Euprymna scolopes) can also be cultured on request. The squid Lolliguncula brevis is available year-round from local waters; the squids Loligo opalescens, L. pealeii, and L. plei can be obtained seasonally on request.

http://braintrap.inf.ed.ac.uk/braintrap/

This database contains information on protein expression in the Drosophila melanogaster brain. It consists of a collection of 3D confocal datasets taken from EYFP expressing protein trap Drosophila lines from the Cambridge Protein Trap project. Currently there are 884 brain scans from 535 protein trap lines in the database. Drosophila protein trap strains were generated by the St Johnston Lab and the Russell Lab at the University of Cambridge, UK. The piggyBac insertion method was used to insert constructs containing splice acceptor and donor sites, StrepII and FLAG affinity purification tags, and an EYFP exon (Venus). Brain images were acquired by Seymour Knowles-Barley, in the Armstrong Lab at the University of Edinburgh. Whole brain mounts were imaged by confocal microscopy, with a background immunohistochemical label added to aid the identification of brain structures. Additional immunohistochemical labeling of the EYFP protein using an anti-GFP antibody was also used in most cases. The trapped protein signal (EYFP / anti-GFP), background signal (NC82 label), and the merged signal can be viewed on the website by using the corresponding channel buttons. In all images the trapped protein / EYFP signal appears green and the background / NC82 channel appears magenta. Original .lsm image files are also available for download.

http://www.cognitorium.com/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented October 28, 2015. Interactive, informative and educational community platform dedicated to cognitive science or the multidisciplinary exploration of the mind. This online platform, will help gather and link information providing a thorough and reliable source of information for students and professionals in the field, as well as help bridge the gap between academia and the society. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of cognitive science, the work is becoming increasingly specialized. Therefore to keep an eye on the bigger picture, it seems necessary to bring the discoveries of various disciplines together in one place, look at their similarities and differences and discuss them for future directions.

http://www.uzh.ch/keyinst/loreta

Software application which computes cortical three-dimensional distribution of current density of the brain based on the scalp-recorded electric potential distribution. The exact low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography method has the property of exact localization to test point sources, yielding images of current density with exact localization, albeit with low spatial resolution. eLORETA has no localization bias even in the presence of structured noise. Deep structures, such as the anterior cingulate cortex and mesial temporal lobes, can be correctly localized with these methods.
