An unbiased standard magnetic resonance imaging template brain volume for pediatric data from the 4.5 to 18.5y age range. These volumes were created using data from 324 children enrolled in the NIH-funded MRI study of normal brain development (Almli et al., 2007, Evans and Group 2006). Tools for using these atlases can be found in the Software section. To view the atlases online, click on the appropriate JIV2 link in the Download section. You can download templates constructed for different age ranges. For each age range you will get an average T1w, T2w, PDw maps normalized between 0 and 100 and tissue probability maps, with values between 0 and 1. Also each age range includes a binary brain mask.

The vision of the JHU ICMIC is to combine state-of-the-art imaging capabilities with powerful molecular biology techniques to define strategies with intent to cure. It has drawn upon its human resources at JHU to create a center consisting of a multidisciplinary group of premier individuals with diverse skills focused on translating molecular capabilities into imaging possibilities with the single purpose of understanding and curing cancer. Nearly all of the investigators participating in this ICMIC have interactive collaborative projects with one or more of the other investigators. The synergism generated by the collective skills of this unique group of individuals will lead to significant advances in the understanding of cancer and its treatment. The JHU ICMIC structure consists of four interactive and closely related research components focused on hypoxia, HIF-1, and exploiting the hypoxia response element to target cancer cells through choline kinase inhibition. These research components are anchored by the participation of world renowned expertise in HIF-1. The research components utilize MR, PET and Optical Imaging technology to understand cancer vascularization, invasion and metastasis, to achieve effective cancer therapy. The center has selected developmental projects which are highly relevant to the goals of the ICMIC and interactive with the research components. Five resources devoted to adminstration, molecular biology, imaging, probes, and translational application provide the infrastructure to support the research activities of the ICMIC. Research Components in the JHU ICMIC: - Combining Anti-angiogenic therapy with siRNA targeting of choline kinase. - Imaging the Role of HIF-1 in Breast Cancer Progression - Imaging and Targeting Hypoxia in Solid Tumors - Molecular and Functional Imaging of the HER-2/neu Receptor The following are developmental projects currently taking place in ICMIC 1. Receptor imaging using nonparamagnetic MRI contrast agents (2003) 2. New imaging agents for prostate cancer (2003) 3. Non-invasive monitoring of therapeutic effect of siRNA-mediated radiation sensitization in human prostate cancer xenografts (2003) 4. Imaging of the endothelin receptor in cancer (2003) 5.

We aligned single-nucleus atlases of middle temporal gyrus (MTG) of 5 primates (human, chimp, gorilla, macaque and marmoset) and identified 57 consensus cell types common to all species. We provide this resource for users to: 1) explore conservation of gene expression across primates at single cell resolution; 2) compare with conservation of gene coexpression across metazoa, and 3) identify genes with changes in expression or connectivity that drive rapid evolution of human brain.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. Memory impairment is one of the most common complaints after head injury, and accordingly, individuals may attempt to feign memory impairment or exaggerate symptoms of memory impairment. This free neuropsychological evaluation software contains some of the most common tests used to detect malingering of memory impairment. This software package contains a number of tests of declarative memory that assess recall of information that has a personal and temporal context. The typical example of declarative tests used for detecting malingering are the auditory verbal learning test and forced choice test. These tests are included in Symptom Validity along with other tests of declarative memory (e.g., prose recall, questionnaire tests). Unfortunately, classification of individuals is not completely accurate even with the use of multiple declarative memory tests. Thus, other tests that can complement previously used declarative memory measures by enhancing classification accuracy may be of great value to the neuropsychologist assessing the possibility of malingering. Your software contains two tests of nondeclarative memory that have been previously shown to be useful in the detection of malingered memory deficits (Davis et al., 1997a, 1997b). These tests take advantage of the general laypersons misunderstanding of the test performance of a truly memory impaired individual. That is, amnesic patients have been shown to perform normally on these nondeclarative memory tests and this is counterintuitive to the memory performance expectations of the general layperson. The nondeclarative tests included in Symptom Validity are two repetition priming tests of word stem completion and two tests of pattern categorization learning. Note: At this time this program will run only on Windows 98. We are currently working on a version that will run under the newer operating systems.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. The modifiable n-Back test is free software presumed to measure executive control of the updating of information in working memory. The task requires the participant to monitor some dimension (e.g. content, position, numerosity) of a temporally present sequence of items, responding when the currently presented item matches on the relevant dimension an item that was just recently presented. The match can be with an item present either 1 back, 2 back, 3 back or n back. Considerable flexibility is provided to the experimenter in specifying various parameters of the experiment (e.g. presentation rate, n back, content, position, color). The n-Back test is presumed to measure executive control of the updating of information in working memory. (Shimamura, 2000) Watter, Geffen and Geffen (2001) based on their work with the P300 event-related-potential have suggested that the n-Back is a dual task in that latencies of the P300 did not change with increasing task difficulty, that is memory load while amplitude did reflecting in their view a reallocation of attention and processing capacity away from the matching subtask. The n-Back task is one in which the participant is presented a series of stimuli at a constant rate. The task of the participant is to determine if the currently presented stimulus is similar (along some dimension) to one they have recently (usually one, two or three positions back) seen in the stream. Match criteria can be dimensions like material, position on the screen, color or some combination. CATs n-Back allows for substantial control over the position in which the material is presented (nine different positions), the nature of the material (any character or dingbat string, and any color. The experimenter can set the speed at which the sequence is presented including both the stimulus on time and the inter-stimulus interval. Participant responses can be made either using the keyboard or the mouse. At this time no normative data is available for this test.

The facility also offers high quality tissue procurement, tissue microarray, histology, immunohistochemistry, photomicroscopy, and laser capture microdissection services for both human and animal tissues to biomedical investigators conducting non-clinical research studies. The TPHC offers instruction to researchers on how to incorporate human tissue into research activities and how to work within the boundaries of patient confidentiality and other regulatory issues. The purpose of the TPHC is to provide tissue collection and processing services to intramural and extramural researchers studying cancer and other diseases. Normal, diseased, benign and malignant tissues are obtained, and matched normal adjacent tissues and tissues from different organ sites from the same donor can also be provided when available. Tissue samples are prepared according to user-specified protocols and can be fresh in a medium of choice, fixed in formalin, quick frozen in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen or snap-frozen by plunging the sample into liquid nitrogen. Frozen tissues are held in the vapor phase of the liquid nitrogen. Tissues can also be embedded, cut and mounted on slides, and stained upon request. Tissue Microarray (TMA) services are offered for the design and construction of TMAs meeting specific project needs. Basic demographic data (age, race, gender) and histopathologic data from Surgical Pathology Reports are provided by the TPHC with the tissues.
