A project which aims to simplify the preparation of accurate electromagnetic head models for EEG forward modeling. It builds off of the seminal SimNIBS tool for electromagnetic field modelling of transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation. Human skin, skull, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain meshing pipelines have been rewritten with Nipype to ease access parallel processing and to allow users to start/stop the workflows. Conductivity tensor mapping from diffusion-weighted imaging is also included.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/topographica/

A software package for computational modeling of neural maps developed as part of the NIMH Human Brain Project. Topographica focuses on the large-scale structure and function that is visible only when many thousands of such neurons are connected into topographic maps containing millions of connections. The software package provides a general-purpose framework for building models at this level, at an appropriate level of detail and complexity, as determined by the available computing power, phenomena of interest, and amount of biological data available for validation. It is intended to complement low-level neuron simulators that are available, such as General Neural Simulation System and NEURON.

http://bmsr.usc.edu/software/eons/

Modeling platform to study the basic interactions between synaptic elements that allows the user to study qualitatively, and also quantitatively the relative contributions of diverse mechanisms underlying synaptic efficacy: the relevance of each and every element that comprises a synapse, the interactions between these components and their subcellular distribution, as well as the influence of synaptic geometry (presynaptic terminal, cleft and postsynaptic density). This platform consists of a graphical interface in which elements that comprise a single glutamatergic synapse (both pre- and post-synaptically), their behavior as well as the underlying synaptic geometry can be modified. For example, EONS offers the ability to study the effect of voltage-gated calcium channels density and distribution, the number and location of receptors and more. EONS is a parametric model of a generic glutamatergic synapse that takes into account pre-synaptic mechanisms, such as calcium buffering and diffusion, neurotransmitter release, diffusion and uptake in the cleft, and postsynaptic elements, such as ionotropic AMPA and NMDA receptors, their distribution and synaptic geometry, as well as metabotropic glutamate receptors. There are no complicated equations to write: all the models are predefined. This version is a great tool for first time users and students interested in learning about synapses, as well as for studying geometry and distribution hypotheses in a 2D rectangular geometry. System Requirements: EONS V1.2 is a Windows program but can be also successfully installed and run on Mac and Linux.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/dti_rat_atlas/

3D DTI anatomical rat brain atlases have been created by the UNC- Chapel Hill Department of Psychiatry and the CAMID research collaboration. There are three age groups, postnatal day 5, postnatal day 14, and postnatal day 72. The subjects were Sprague-Dawley rats that were controls in a study on cocaine abuse and development. The P5 and P14 templates were made from scans of twenty rats each (ten female, ten male); the P72, from six females. The individual cases have been resampled to isotropic resolution, manually skull-stripped, and deformably registered via an unbiased atlas building method to create a template for each age group. Each template was then manually segmented using itk-SNAP software. Each atlas is made up of 3 files, a template image, a segmentation, and a label file.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/vervet_atlas/

Vervet (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) probabilistic atlas that defines an anatomical space (template) with associated tissue and regional prior probability maps. The atlas was produced from whole head MRI of 10 normal adult animal subjects. The package consists of two atlases. The Biased directory contains the average template and probabilistic atlases for selected tissue classes constructed by registering the training population to one subject. The Unbiased directory contains the atlas constructed using unbiased estimation. The atlas is suitable for use in any segmentation tool using a probabilistic atlas, for example those in Slicer.

http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ServicesAtlases/Macaque

A reference atlas of standard macaque monkey magnetic resonance images. The template brain volume that offers a common stereotaxic reference frame to localize anatomical and functional information in an organized and reliable way for comparison across individual macaque monkeys and studies. We have used MRI volumes from a group of 25 normal adult macaque monkeys (18 Macaca fascicularis, 7 Macaca mulatta) to create the individual atlas. Thus, the atlas does not rely on the anatomy of a single subject, but instead depends on nonlinear normalization of numerous macaque brains mapped to an average template image that is faithful to the location of anatomical structures. Tools for registering a native MRI to the MNI macaque atlas can be found in the Software section. Viewing the atlas and associated volumes online requires Java browser support. Additionally, you may download the atlas and associated files in your chosen format.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/rmdtitemplate/

A population-specific DTI template for young adolescent Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta) monkeys using 271 high-quality scans. Using such a large number of animals in generating a template allows it to account for variability in the species. Their DTI template is based on the largest number of animals ever used in generating a computational brain template. It is anticipated that their DTI template will help facilitate voxel-based and tract specific WM analyses in non-human primate species, which in turn may increase our understanding of brain function, development, and evolution.
