THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 4th, 2023. A database of human data from functional neuroimaging scientific articles containing Talairach coordinates that provides data for novel information retrieval techniques and automated meta-analyses. Each article in this database is identified by a unique number: A WOBIB. Some of the structure of the Brede database is similar to the structure of the BrainMap database (Research Imaging Center, San Antonio). The database is inspired by the hierarchical structure of BrainMap with scientific articles (bib structures) on the highest level containing one or more experiments (exp structure, corresponding to a contrast in general linear model analyses), these in turn comprising one or more locations (loc structures). The information on the bib level (author, title, ...) is setup automatically from PubMed while the rest of the information is entered manually in a Matlab graphical user interface. On the loc level this includes the 3D stereotactic coordinates in either Talairach or MNI space, the brain area (functional, anatomical or cytoarchitectonic area) and magnitude values such as Z-score and P-value. On the exp level information such as modality, scanner and behavioral domain are recorded with external components (such as face recognition or kinetic boundaries) organized in a directed graph and marked up with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) where possible. The database is distributed as part of the Brede neuroinformatics toolbox (hendrix.imm.dtu.dk/software/brede/) which also provides the functions to manipulate and analyze the data. The Brede Toolbox is a program package primarily written in Matlab. As of 2006/11, 186 papers with 586 experiments.

http://www.mknt.hu/sites/default/files/NEPSYBANK_0.doc

The Hungarian Society of Clinical Neurgenetics established a nationwide collaboration for prospective collection of human biological materials and databases from patient with neurological and psychiatric diseases. The basic triangle of the NEPSYBANK is the sample, the information and the study management. The present participants of the NEPSYBANK are the Department of Neurology and Psychiatry of the four Medical Universities (in Budapest, Debrecen, Pecs, Szeged) and the National Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Budapest. The NEPSYBANK is a disease based biobank collecting both phenotypical and environmental data and biological materials such as DNA/RNA, whole blood, plasma, cerebral spinal fluid, muscle / nerve / skin biopsy, brain, and fibroblast. The target of the diseases is presently (Phase I): stroke syndromes, dementias, movement disorders, motoneuron diseases, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, alcohol addiction. In the near future (Phase II.) it is planned to enlarge the scale with headaches, disorders of the peripheral nerves, disorders of neuromuscular transmission, disorders of skeletal muscle, depression, anxiety. DNA/RNA is usually extracted from whole blood, but occasionally different tissues such as muscle, brain etc. can be used as well. The extracting procedures differ among the institutes, but in all cases the concentration and the quality of the DNA/RNA must be registered in the database. Participating institutional biobanks have committed themselves to follow common quality standards, which provide access to samples after prioritization on scientific grounds only. In every case the following data are registered. 1. General data: main bank categories, age, sex, ethnicity, body height, body weight, economic stats, education, type of place of living, marital status, birth complications, alcohol, drugs, smoking. 2. Sample properties (sample ID, type of sample, date of extraction, concentration, and level of purity). General patient data as blood pressure, heart rate, internal medical status, ECG, additional diseases. Disease specific question e.g. in schizophrenia the diagnosis after DSMIV and ICD 10, detailed diagnostic questions after both classification, detailed psychiatric and neurological status, laboratory findings, rating scales, data of neuroimaging, genetic tests, applied medication (with generic name, dose, duration), adverse drug effects and other treatments. The Biobank Information Management System (BIMS) is responsible for linkage of databases containing information on the individual sample donors. If you want to have samples from the NEPSYBANK an application must be submitted containing the following information: short research plan including aims and study design, ethic application with a positive decision, specific demands regarding the right of disposition, agreements with grant organizations which regulate immaterial property, information about financing (academic grants, support from industry). All participants have the right to withdraw their samples through a simple order.

Encourages and facilitates brain tissue donation for use in the best scientific studies to better understand the biological basis of autism down to the cellular and molecular levels and through that understanding bring about the development of effective interventions for those affected by autism spectrum disorders. To ensure the best co-ordinated use of brain tissue, the UK Brain Bank for Autism works in collaboration with the Autism Tissue Program in the US and shares the same Tissue Advisory board. The Brain Bank for Autism & Related Developmental Research was established in 2009. It is an initiative to develop a similar program in the UK to the Autism Tissue Program, which has been developed in the US since 1998. Our Brain Bank is the first extension outside the US of the Autism Tissue Program and is integrated with it. The Brain Bank is based at Oxford University, where it forms part of the Thomas Willis Oxford Brain Collection. It operates in accordance with all UK legal and ethical requirements. The donation of post-mortem brain tissue for this research program is of fundamental importance to our understanding of the causes of autism and to help us develop more effective diagnostic measures and interventions. A separate brain bank for autism is necessary because we need to understand how, in autism, the brain develops over time and how the brain functions as a whole. However, our Brain Bank will promote close cooperation across all relevant brain banks in order to take the research forward. Our research focuses on: * people within the autism spectrum or their family members * people not affected by autism but who are affected by epilepsy * individuals without autism or epilepsy.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 1, 2019. The first brain atlas for the common marmoset to be made available since a printed atlas by Stephan, Baron and Schwerdtfeger published in 1980. It is a combined histological and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) atlas constructed from the brains of two adult female marmosets. Histological sections were processed from Nissl staining and digitized to produce an atlas in a large format that facilitates visualization of structures with significant detail. Naming of identifiable brain structures was performed utilizing current terminology. For the present atlas, an adult female was perfused through the heart with PBS followed by 10% formalin. The brain was then sent to Neuroscience Associates of Knoxville, TN, who prepared the brain for histological analysis. The brain was cut in the coronal (frontal) plane at 40 microns, every sixth section stained for Nissl granules with thionine and every seventh section stained for myelinated fibers with the Weil technique. The mounted sections were photographed at the NIH (Medical Arts and Photography Branch). The equipment used was a Nikon Multiphot optical bench with Zeiss Luminar 100 mm lens, and scanned with a Better Light 6100 scan back driven by Better Light Viewfinder 5.3 software. The final images were saved as arrays of 6000x8000 pixels in Adobe Photoshop 6.0. A scale in mm provided with these images permitted construction of the final Nissl atlas files with a horizontal and vertical scale. Some additional re-touching (brightness and contrast) was done with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. The schematic (labeled) atlas plates were created from the Nissl images. The nomenclature came almost exclusively from brainmaps.org, where a rhesus monkey brain with structures labeled can be found. The labels for the MRI images were placed by M. R. Zametkin, under supervision from Dr. Newman.

The Stanley Online Genomics Database uses samples from the Stanley Medical Research Institute (SMRI) Brain Bank. These samples were processed and run on gene expression arrays by a variety of researchers in collaboration with the SMRI. These researchers have performed analyses on their respective studies using a range of analytic approaches. All of the genomic data have been aggregated in this online database, and a consistent set of analyses have been applied to each study. Additionally, a comprehensive set of cross-study analyses have been performed. A thorough collection of gene expression summaries are provided, inclusive of patient demographics, disease subclasses, regulated biological pathways, and functional classifications. Raw data is also available to download. The database is derived from two sets of brain samples, the Stanley Array collection and the Stanley Consortium collection. The Stanley Array collection contains 105 patients, and the Stanley Consortium collection contains 60 patients. Multiple genomic studies have been conducted using these brain samples. From these studies, twelve were selected for inclusion in the database on the basis of number of patients studied, genomic platform used, and data quality. The Consortium collection studies have fewer patients but more diversity in brain regions and array platforms, while the Array collection studies are more homogenous. There are tradeoffs, the Consortium results will be more variable, but findings may be more broadly representative. The collections contain brain samples from subjects in four main groups: Bipolar Schizophrenia, Depression, and Controls Brain regions used in the studies include: Broadman Area 6, Broadman Area 8/9, Broadman Area 10, Broadman Area 46, Cerebellum The 12 studies encompass a range of microarray platforms: Affymetrix HG-U95Av2, Affymetrix HG-U133A, Affymetrix HG-U133 2.0+, Codelink Human 20K, Agilent Human I, Custom cDNA Publications based on any of the clinical or genomic data should credit the Stanley Medical Research Institute, as well as any individual SMRI collaborators whose data is being used. Publications which make use of analytic results/methods in the database should additionally cite Dr. Michael Elashoff. Registration is required to access the data.
