Devise better ways to prevent and treat vision loss due to amblyopia and strabismus, and to advance medical science by understanding the human visual system. Various Images, Videos and Talks related to the research are available. In the Laboratory for Visual Neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco, we are seeking to discover how visual perception occurs in the human brain. The function of the visual system is to guide our behavior by providing an efficient means for the rapid assimilation of information from the environment. As we navigate through our surroundings, a continuous stream of light images impinges on our eyes. In the back of each eye a light-sensitive tissue, the retina, converts patterns of light energy into electrical discharges known as action potentials. These signals are conveyed along the axons of retinal ganglion cells to the lateral geniculate body, a relay nucleus in the thalamus. Most of the output of the lateral geniculate body is relayed directly to the primary visual cortex (striate cortex, V1), and then to surrounding visual association areas. To understand the function of the visual pathways, our research is focused on 5 major themes: * Organization of Primary Visual Cortex * Mapping of Extrastriate Visual Cortex * Amblyopia and Visual Development * Strabismus and Visual Suppression * The Human Visual Cortex

The National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) established a multi-center network of sites that are working together to design clinical intervention protocols and measures of outcome for TBI. Through rigorous patient evaluation, using common protocols and interventions designed for multiple points of care����??including the accident scene, emergency room, intensive care unit, rehabilitation and long-term follow-up����??the NCMRR TBI Clinical Trials Network can study the required numbers of patients to provide answers more rapidly than individual centers acting alone. This interdisciplinary research Network is designed to evaluate the relationship among acute care practice, rehabilitation strategies, and the long-term functional outcome of TBI patients����??that is, to identify which intervention variables result in improvements in long-term outcomes. Taking advantage of the network model structure has allowed TBI research to progress toward a number of clinical research goals. Specifically, the NCMRR wants to highlight two major achievements to date. First, the TBI Network created a profile of its typical patient to determine the number of patients with different clinical features who might be eligible for future studies and to help estimate recruitment times necessary. Second, Network researchers are developing clinical treatment guidelines and procedures for all points in the continuum of care, including TBI Clinical Trials Network Guidelines for surgical care, systems-based protocol for severe and moderate TBI patients, deep-vein thrombosis prophylaxis procedures, and rehabilitation guidelines for physical therapy, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and neuropsychology.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on May 18th, 2016. A foundation that was founded in 2001, and sponsors academic centers throughout the US. The MIchael Stern Parkinson's Research Foundation focuses its efforts mainly on finding the causes of the disease, finding effective treatments, and discovering a cure for the disease. The foundation is notably looking into dopamine and its effects on neural connections, as well its possibility to be used for treatment.
Dr. Greengard has assembled a close knit group of more than 25 outstanding scientists who are focused on translating the fundamental understandings about the dopamine system into new treatments for Parkinson's. The core team of researchers is based at the Stern Foundation laboratory on the campus of The Rockefeller University interacts continually with collaborators from the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Italy, Japan and Korea. This global presence ensures that no promising research lead is overlooked, and that progress can be made on multiple fronts simultaneously. As the Foundation grew it was able to expand its support for critical neurological research to two other institutions, Harvard University's McLean Hospital, where we support the research of Dr. Ole Isacson whose research lab, The Stern Center for Neuroregeneration Research is using gene therapy to protect the most vulnerable neurons in PD models; and the Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders, where Yale Professors Dr. Ken Marek and Dr. John Seibyl are developing novel tools for early detection and monitoring of Parkinson's disease by studying physiologic, biochemical and neuroimaging biomarkers for non-dominergic manifestations of Parkinsonism. :NIF thanks the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, http://www.pdf.org for their referral of this resource to us.
