THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Program developing a self-sustaining colony of baboons free of all known herpesviruses, four retroviruses, and SV40 for research. When the program is fully developed, they will provide healthy, behaviorally normal, SPF baboons that are free of all known herpes viruses, four retroviruses, and SV40. To accomplish this goal, the center has established in collaboration with co-investigators and consultants serological and PCR tests for each of the 11 target viruses. These baboon viruses include six herpesviruses (analogs of human HSV, VZV, CMV, HHV6, EBV, and HHV8), four retroviruses (simian foamy virus, SRV/D, SIV, and STLV), and SV40. Twenty-four infant baboons are being recruited into the SPF program in each of the first five years, for a final total of at least 66 SPF baboons. All infants will be repeatedly tested for each of the target viruses. At one month of age, larger social groups of 4-6 SPF animals are formed. Beginning at 2-3 years of age, SPF animals will be integrated into larger socially compatible groups. These groups will eventually mature into breeding harems of SPF animals. This approach provides infants with age-matched companions for socialization during their early period of development, minimizes opportunities for transmission of viruses to the infants from adult animals, and allows for the simultaneous elimination of many different viruses from SPF animals.

http://braininfo.rprc.washington.edu

Portal to neuroanatomical information on the Web that helps you identify structures in the brain and provides a variety of information about each structure by porting you to the best of 1500 web pages at 100 other neuroscience sites. BrainInfo consists of three basic components: NeuroNames, a developing database of definitions of neuroanatomic structures in four species, their most common acronyms and their names in eight languages; NeuroMaps, a digital atlas system based on 3-D canonical stereotaxic atlases of rhesus macaque and mouse brains and programs that enable one to map data to standard surface and cross-sectional views of the brains for presentation and publication; and the NeuroMaps precursor: Template Atlas of the Primate Brain, a 2-D stereotaxic atlas of the longtailed (fascicularis) macaque brain that shows the locations of some 250 architectonic areas of macaque cortex. The NeuroMaps atlases will soon include a number of overlays showing the locations of cortical areas and other neuroscientific data in the standard frameworks of the macaque and mouse atlases. Viewers are encouraged to use NeuroNames as a stable source of unique standard terms and acronyms for brain structures in publications, illustrations and indexing systems; to use templates extracted from the NeuroMaps macaque and mouse brain atlases for presenting neuroscientific information in image format; and to use the Template Atlas for warping to MRIs or PET scans of the macaque brain to estimate the stereotaxic locations of structures.

http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Tracula

Software tool developed for automatically reconstructing a set of major white matter pathways in the brain from diffusion weighted images using probabilistic tractography. This method utilizes prior information on the anatomy of the pathways from a set of training subjects. By incorporating this prior knowledge in the reconstruction procedure, our method obviates the need for manual intervention with the tract solutions at a later stage and thus facilitates the application of tractography to large studies. The trac-all script is used to preprocess raw diffusion data (correcting for eddy current distortion and B0 field inhomogenities), register them to common spaces, model and reconstruct major white matter pathways (included in the atlas) without any manual intervention. trac-all may be used to execute all the above steps or parts of it depending on the dataset and user''''s preference for analyzing diffusion data. Alternatively, scripts exist to execute chunks of each processing pipeline, and individual commands may be run to execute a single processing step. To explore all the options in running trac-all please refer to the trac-all wiki. In order to use this script to reconstruct tracts in Diffusion images, all the subjects in the dataset must have Freesurfer Recons.

Database of histopathology photomicrographs and macroscopic images derived from mutant or genetically manipulated mice. The database currently holds more than 1000 images of lesions from mutant mice and their inbred backgrounds and further images are being added continuously. Images can be retrieved by searching for specific lesions or class of lesion, by genetic locus, or by a wide set of parameters shown on the Advanced Search Interface. Its two key aims are: * To provide a searchable database of histopathology images derived from experimental manipulation of the mouse genome or experiments conducted on genetically manipulated mice. * A reference / didactic resource covering all aspects of mouse pathology Lesions are described according to the Pathbase pathology ontology developed by the Pathbase European Consortium, and are available at the site or on the Gene Ontology Consortium site - OBO. As this is a community resource, they encourage everyone to upload their own images, contribute comments to images and send them their feedback. Please feel free to use any of the SOAP/WSDL web services. (under development)
