In the early nineties it became evident that HIV infection was spreading widely in India and the national efforts for control of HIV infection needed to be backed by quality research. It was also realized that AIDS, being a multifaceted disease, needed multi-disciplinary research involving virology, immunology, microbiology, clinical research, epidemiology, field based trials and social and behavioral research. An Institute devoted exclusively to HIV/ AIDS that could undertake research of such a diversity and magnitude was established to meet this requirement. National AIDS Research Institute (NARI) was established in October 1992 in Bhosari, Pune on a seven acre plot. The Institute has progressively expanded its activities in various aspects of research on HIV and AIDS through infra-structural development, capacity building & research programmes. The activities of NARI are supported by the ICMR & numerous extramural agencies. For the fiscal year 2005-2006 the ICMR allocated 5.66 crores for NARI. Additionally, over 13 crores have been generated through extramural sources. The Institute''s research activities are guided by a Scientific Advisory Committee which includes eminent scientists from varied disciplines. All research projects are reviewed & approved by the Ethics Committee which also ensures that research is conducted with highest ethical standards. Establishment of a Community Advisory Board which acts as an interface between the community and the researchers is a pioneering effort by NARI.

http://www.fz-juelich.de/ime/spm_anatomy_toolbox

A MATLAB toolbox which uses three dimensional probabilistic cytoarchitechtonic maps to correlate microscopic, anatomic and functional data of the cerebral cortex. Correlating the activation foci identified in functional imaging studies of the human brain with structural (e.g., cytoarchitectonic) information on the activated areas is a major methodological challenge for neuroscience research. We here present a new approach to make use of three-dimensional probabilistic cytoarchitectonic maps, as obtained from the analysis of human post-mortem brains, for correlating microscopical, anatomical and functional imaging data of the cerebral cortex. We introduce a new, MATLAB based toolbox for the SPM2 software package which enables the integration of probabilistic cytoarchitectonic maps and results of functional imaging studies. The toolbox includes the functionality for the construction of summary maps combining probability of several cortical areas by finding the most probable assignment of each voxel to one of these areas. Its main feature is to provide several measures defining the degree of correspondence between architectonic areas and functional foci. The software, together with the presently available probability maps, is available as open source software to the neuroimaging community. This new toolbox provides an easy-to-use tool for the integrated analysis of functional and anatomical data in a common reference space.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. This free neuropsychological evaluation software, Repeat, examines performance on a serial reaction time task thought to depend upon implicit memory. Participant's acquisition of a repeating stimulus sequence is assessed in this task. Repeat is a modification of procedures reported by Nissen and Bullemer (1987) and by Lewick, Hill and Bizot (1988). The computer screen is divided into quadrants. A single X, appears in one of the quadrants. The participant's task is either, depending on response modality, to strike as quickly as possible the key (4, 5, 1, 2 on the numeric keypad) corresponding to the quadrant in which the X appears or to position the mouse pointer over the quadrant and click it. The X then appears according to a repeating pre-programmed sequence in a different quadrant and the participant is required to respond as quickly as possible to that X. A trial is made up of a series of the repeating sequence. Sequence order and length and the number of iterations of the sequence are predetermined by the experimenter. CATs Repeat also allows for the interleaving of a randomly positioned X between each sequenced X. Alternatively a series of random presentations can be programmed to allow for assessment of the baseline speed of responding, that is a condition under which the participant can acquire no anticipatory information to enhance speed of responding. Repeat also contains a dual-task or split attention component modeled after a task reported by Nissen and Bullemer (1987). This task is identical to the one described above except that either a low or high tone is presented with each X presentation and the participant is asked to count the number of low tones they heard during a trial. The relative frequency of low tones is experimenter definable. Finally Repeat allows for the assessment of the explicit knowledge the participant may have acquired of the sequence. This component of the task is modeled after the generate procedure reported by Nissen and Bullemer (1987). At any point in the experiment the participant can be asked to begin predicting where the X will appear next. At this time no normative data is available for this test.

https://neuropsychological-assessment-tests.com/sanzen-tower-london-test

CATs Tower of London test is a free, computer-based software test originally developed by Shallice (1982) to investigate problem solving in subjects with damage to the frontal lobes. The CATs Tower of London Test comes with one preprogrammed test along with extensive normative data for that test. You can also create a test using your design. Briefly, subjects are required to move colored beads from a window on the left (working area) until they achieve the arrangement in the window on the right (goal position). Subjects are instructed to try to achieve the goal arrangement in as few moves as possible. The software contains a Tower of London test. The test contains trials with 3 beads and 3 pegs, 4 beads and 4 pegs, and 5 beads and 5 pegs. You can use the Setup screen to create a test using your design. A test can contain 3, 4, and 5 bead problems with varying number of moves required for the optimal solution. In Shallice's initial investigation using the Tower of London, patients with damage to the left anterior frontal lobe demonstrated impaired planning (i.e., greater number of moves required for solution). Patients with damage to the right anterior, and left or right posterior areas of the frontal lobes were not impaired. Thus, results from this initial study provided support for the view that the left anterior frontal lobe area is involved in the planning required for solving the Tower of London test. Recent studies using neuroimaging techniques support this notion. Studies using regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) imaging indicate an involvement of the left frontal lobes in the planning required for successfully completing the Tower of London puzzle. Studies of patients with damage to the frontal lobes indicate less cortical specificity, but are consistent with the view that the frontal lobes are involved in the planning required for solving this puzzle.

https://neuropsychological-assessment-tests.com/sanzen-reaction-time-test

Reaction Time is free neuropsychological evaluation software designed to assess subject's speed of processing on three relatively simple tasks. Tasks include a simple reaction time test, a choice test, and a conditional choice test. Participants are shown a series of visual stimuli on a computer screen and asked to respond by pulling an appropriate trigger on a standard game pad. Both reaction time and the trigger pulled are recorded for subsequent analysis. Tasks to be used in the test, the average inter-stimulus interval and the number of stimuli presented for each task can be set by the investigator. The analysis includes means and standard deviations for response latencies for a single session, as well as the capability of evaluating a participant's performance on a particular session against their performance on a series of sessions. This test requires the use of a game pad that supports at least four buttons and provides a right and left trigger button. We have tested several different brands of inexpensive game pads and have found them acceptable; however we have standardized on Microsoft's SideWinder and have used it in collecting the normative data for this test.
