Brain Canada is a national non-profit organization that develops and supports collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research across the neurosciences. Through partnering with the public, private and voluntary sectors, Brain Canada connects the knowledge and resources available in this area to accelerate neuroscience research and funding and maximize the output of Canada''s world-class scientists and researchers. Brain Canada was created to address the twin challenges of increasing the scale of brain research funding in Canada and widening its scope to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration to produce insights for treating multiple disorders. Brain Canada is built on the successes and model of NeuroScience Canada (NSC). Established in 1999, NSC raised more than $11.5 million, leveraged over $20 million with partnered funding, and funded 100 individual and teams of researchers in Canada. Brain Canada is the new vision for Canadian brain researchthe voice for the brain and the grouping of brain disorders, raising awareness about their prevalence and impact on individuals, families, the economy and society. But most important, through the research we are funding, we are giving hope to the millions of Canadians who are directly or indirectly touched by diseases, disorders, and injuries of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.

A community website for Huntington''s Disease (HD) research that currently contains Y2H and Mass spectrometry protein-protein interaction data centered around the HD protein (huntingtin) and information on therapeutic studies in mouse. Also available are raw Human and Mouse Affymetrix Microarray data. The protein interaction data is from several sources, including interactions curated from the literature by ISB staff, experimentally determined interactions produced by Bob Hughes and colleagues at Prolexys (currently password protected), and interactions reported in a recent publication by Goehler et al from Eric Wanker''s lab. Content areas that may be covered by the site include the following: * Therapeutic studies in mouse, primarily drug screens. * HD mouse models with a focus on timelines of disease progression. * Antibodies used in HD research. * Microarray gene expression studies. * Genes and proteins relevant to HD research. This includes HD itself, the growing list of proteins thought to interact directly or indirectly with huntingtin (Htt), and other genes and proteins implicated in the disease process. * Molecular pathways thought to be involved in the disease process. * Timelines of disease for Mouse models

Alzheimer's Disease Center that serves as the focal point for all Alzheimer's disease-related activities at the University of Kentucky and the Commonwealth of Kentucky providing an environment and core resources that catalyze innovative research, outreach, education, and clinical programs. Their ADC plans to build on its historic strengths and capitalize on emerging opportunities to provide an infrastructure that supports research designed to translate knowledge into therapeutic strategies for AD. They focus on two interrelated themes: Transitions and Translation. Their overall emphasis is to more effectively bridge the gap between basic research and clinical studies by facilitating translational efforts. They also carefully characterize transitions across the spectrum of cognitive impairment (normal/ preclinical AD/ MCI/ dementia), with focus on definition of early disease, and continue to support neuropathology as the bedrock of our center. The Alzheimer Disease Center's 2006-2011 grant award from the National Institute on Aging consists of five cores: * Administrative Core * Clinical Core * Biostatistics and Data Management Core * Neuropathology Core * Education & Information Transfer Core

Center to advance research and training in mathematical, computational and modern imaging approaches to understanding the brain and its functions. Software tools and associated reconstruction data produced in the center are available. Researchers study the relationships between neural function and structure at levels ranging from the molecular and cellular, through network organization of the brain. This involves the development of new computational and analytic tools for imaging and visualization of 3-D neural morphology, from the gross topologic characteristics of the dendritic arbor to the fine structure of spines and their synapses. Numerical simulations of neural mechanisms based on these structural data are compared with in-vivo and in-vitro electrophysiological recordings. The group also develops new theoretical and analytic approaches to exploring the function of neural models of working memory. The goal of this analytic work is to combine biophysically realistic models and simulations with reduced mathematical models that capture essential dynamical behaviors while reproducing the functionally important features of experimental data. Research areas include: Imaging Studies, Volume Integration, Visualization Techniques, Medial Axis Extraction, Spine Detection and Classification, Applications of Rayburst, Analysis of Spatially Complex Structures, Computational Modeling, Mathematical and Analytic Studies

http://healthybrain.umn.edu/

Research forum portal to address brain status by acquiring comprehensive, multimodal data from healthy humans across the lifespan to characterize brain status, assess its change over time, and associate composite descriptors of brain status. Specifically, the measurements are acquired noninvasively by existing neuroimaging technologies (structural MRI, functional MRI, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, diffusion MRI, and magnetoencephalography); in addition, genetic, cognitive, language, and lifestyle data are acquired. Goals: * Derive the Brain Health Index- An integrative assessment of brain status derived from multimodal measurements of brain structure, function, and chemistry. * Continue acquiring data to construct the first-ever databank on brain, cognitive, language and genetic measurements for healthy people across the lifespan. * Provide a novel and unique dataset by which to: characterize brain status, assess its change over time, and associate it with genetic makeup, cognitive function, and language abilities. * Forecast future brain health and disease based on current measurements and guide physicians towards new interventions and evaluate interventions as they develop. * Extend to siblings and other family members to further assess the genetic influences and inheritability.
