An institute whose mission is to translate laboratory discoveries into prevention, treatment and cures for Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. MIND seeks to accelerate therapies that lessen the toll of disease on patients and families. Researchers of the institute collaborate, strategize, and share technology to find treatment for these diseases. As promising leads are developed in one area, they are tested in the other neurodegenerative disorders.

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.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. A service and research oriented network of statewide regional brain bank sites. The intent of the brain bank program is to study brains of persons clinically diagnosed with dementia and provide tissue for research after their deaths. Mt. Sinai Medical Center contracts annually with the State of Florida to operate the primary brain bank. Coordinators at regional brain bank sites in Orlando, Tampa and Pensacola assist in recruiting participants and act as liaisons between the brain bank and participant families. Alzheimer's disease respite care program providers, memory disorder clinics, and model day care programs also recruit brain bank participants. The Florida Brain Bank supports collaborative research programs related to Alzheimer's disease and other degenerative disorders of the brain.

An initiative for Alzheimer's disease clinical studies that works to facilitate the discovery, development and testing of new drugs, and is a part of the Alzheimer's Disease Prevention Initiative. This resource has an emphasis on expanding the range of its patients, mainly by enhancing the recruitment of minority groups. There is a further emphasis placed on testing agents that cannot be patented, as well as developing novel compounds that had been developed by individuals, academic institutions and drug discovery units. This resource also helps in the development of Alzheimer's disease centers to carry out studies, as well as establish administrative, data, operations and medical cores in San Diego. This organization is specifically involved in studies demonstrating the lack of benefit associated, previously used treatments such as: the use of estrogen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, B vitamins and a statin drug. The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study also develops assessment instruments to be used in clinical trials. The most frequently used of these tools include: the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive sub-scale (ADAS-cog), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and the Clinical Global Impression of Change Scale (CGIC). There is also an associated tissue bank at UCSD that includes materials from the clinical trials including: human tissue, blood, plasma, DNA, urine and cerebrospinal fluid.
