3D DTI anatomical rat brain atlases have been created by the UNC- Chapel Hill Department of Psychiatry and the CAMID research collaboration. There are three age groups, postnatal day 5, postnatal day 14, and postnatal day 72. The subjects were Sprague-Dawley rats that were controls in a study on cocaine abuse and development. The P5 and P14 templates were made from scans of twenty rats each (ten female, ten male); the P72, from six females. The individual cases have been resampled to isotropic resolution, manually skull-stripped, and deformably registered via an unbiased atlas building method to create a template for each age group. Each template was then manually segmented using itk-SNAP software. Each atlas is made up of 3 files, a template image, a segmentation, and a label file.

http://neurosurgery.ucsf.edu/index.php/research_tissue_bank.html

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Brain Tumor Research Center Tissue Bank began collecting tissue in 1978 and has established an organized repository of characterized tissues--frozen, paraffin-embedded, blood and cultures--that are maintained in a manner useful for a wide range of studies. Samples are collected only from patients who have agreed to have their tissues banked and used for future research. Consent documents are maintained in a secure area and associated clinical data are held in a double-password protected computer database. Each sample received into the Tissue Bank is non-identifying number. No protected health information (PHI) is released. To obtain samples, investigators submit a request form to the Manager. The request form requires an explanation of the tissue requested (type, number of samples, justification), description of the study, CHR approval (see new policy regarding human vs. non-human research) and Project Leader authorization. The Manager reviews each request for feasibility before presentation to the Scientific Core Committee. The UCSF Neurosurgery Tissue Bank makes its inventory of stock cell lines available to all investigators. Requested cells are grown in T-25 flasks and shipped FedEx Priority Overnight at the receipient's expense. However, if you prefer, we can ship the frozen cells, packed in dry ice. (Note: some countries restrict dry ice shipments.)

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Database / display tool of genome scans, with a web interface that lets the user view the data. It does not perform any analyses - these must be done by other software, and the results uploaded into it. The basic features of GSCANDB are: * Parallel viewing of scans for multiple phenotypes. * Parallel analyses of the same scan data. * Genome-wide views of genome scans * Chromosomal region views, with zooming * Gene and SNP Annotation is shown at high zoom levels * Haplotype block structure viewing * The positions of known Trait Loci can be overlayed and queried. * Links to Ensembl, MGI, NCBI, UCSC and other genome data browsers. In GSCANDB, a genome scan has a wide definition, including not only the usual statistical genetic measures of association between genetic variation at a series of loci and variation in a phenotype, but any quantitative measure that varies along the genome. This includes for example competitive genome hybridization data and some kinds of gene expression measurements.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on December 02, 2011. Notice: This domain name expired on 10/29/11 and is pending renewal or deletion PD-DOC is a portal and a database resource, hosting a database and linking to other databases and data sets of clinical and translational data. PD-DOC functions to organize and facilitate clinical and translational research in Parkinson's disease. The PD-DOC Database contains standardized data collected by user institutions on large numbers of patients with Parkinsons disease and other parkinsonian disorders. In some cases, data is obtained at a single point in time, while in others data is collected repeatedly over time. The PD-DOC Database is composed of the Core Data Set (CDS) which consists of those variables required to be gathered for each subject whose data is entered into the PD-DOC database. In 2005, working groups of Udall Center and invited experts deliberated to establish the components of each CDS section (e.g. General Clinical, Cognitive/Behavioral, Postmortem Brain Neuropathological Findings). The PD-DOC CDS was established and designed to optimize data analyses and data mining for large numbers of subjects participating in a variety of research studies. In most cases corresponding DNA samples are available form the NINDS Human Genetic Repository (at Coriell). Much of the website is publicly available for viewing. To request access to sections of the website dealing with downloading or requesting data, requesting a consultation, or submitting data or other information you will need to register. Before registering, you should read the PD-DOC Policies. Note that PD-DOC data can be used for research purposes only. Once your registration is successfully completed you will be automatically logged into the website.

Project to define a roadmap for diffusion MR imaging of traumatic brain imaging and design an infrastructure to implement the recommendations and tested to ensure feasibility, disseminate results, and facilitate deployment and adoption. The research roadmap and infrastructure development will concentrate on three areas: 1) standardization of diffusion imaging methodology, 2) trial design and patient selection for acute or chronic therapy, and 3) development of multi-center collaborations and repositories for evaluating whether advanced diffusion imaging does improve decision making and TBI patients' outcomes. # DTI MRI reproducability: One of the major areas of investigation in this project is to study the reproducibility of data acquisition and image analysis algorithms. Understanding reproducibility defines a base level of deviation from which scans can be analyzed with statistical significance. As part of this work they are also developing site qualification criteria with the intention of setting limits on the MR system minimal performance for acceptable use in TBI evaluation. # Infrastructure for image storage, analysis and visualization: There is a continuing need to refine and extend software methods for diffusion MRI data analysis and visualization. Not only to translate tools into clinical practice, but also to encourage continuation of the innovation and development of new tools and techniques. To deliver upon these goals they are designing and implementing a storage and computational infrastructure to provide access to shared datasets and intuitive interfaces for analysis and visualization through a variety of tools. A strong emphasis has been placed on providing secure data sharing and the ability to add community defined common data elements. The infrastructure is built upon a Software-as-a-Service model, in which tools are hosted and managed remotely allowing users access through well-defined interfaces. The final service will also facilitate composition or orchestration of workflows composed of different analysis and processing tasks (for example using LONI or XNAT pipelines) with the ultimate goal of providing automated no-click evaluations of diffusion MRI data. # Tool development: The final aspect of this project aims to facilitate and encourage tool development and contribution. By providing access to open datasets, they will create a platform on which tool developers can compare and improve and their tools. When tools are sufficiently mature they can be exposed in the infrastructure mentioned above and used by researchers and other developers.

A tractography algorithm for HARDI which provides a relatively accurate and efficient fiber tracking mechanism by reconstructing a bi-tensor model for underlying signals and exploiting intrinsic operations on the space of diffusion tensors. Given HARDI data sets, IUKF is capable of tracking in the presence of complex local geometries, such as crossing and kissing fibers. Reconstruction is only performed at the voxels along estimated fibers.
