http://www.fz-juelich.de/ime/spm_anatomy_toolbox

A MATLAB toolbox which uses three dimensional probabilistic cytoarchitechtonic maps to correlate microscopic, anatomic and functional data of the cerebral cortex. Correlating the activation foci identified in functional imaging studies of the human brain with structural (e.g., cytoarchitectonic) information on the activated areas is a major methodological challenge for neuroscience research. We here present a new approach to make use of three-dimensional probabilistic cytoarchitectonic maps, as obtained from the analysis of human post-mortem brains, for correlating microscopical, anatomical and functional imaging data of the cerebral cortex. We introduce a new, MATLAB based toolbox for the SPM2 software package which enables the integration of probabilistic cytoarchitectonic maps and results of functional imaging studies. The toolbox includes the functionality for the construction of summary maps combining probability of several cortical areas by finding the most probable assignment of each voxel to one of these areas. Its main feature is to provide several measures defining the degree of correspondence between architectonic areas and functional foci. The software, together with the presently available probability maps, is available as open source software to the neuroimaging community. This new toolbox provides an easy-to-use tool for the integrated analysis of functional and anatomical data in a common reference space.

The Dog Genome Project at the National Human Genome Research Institute is working to develop resources necessary to map and clone canine genes in an effort to utilize dogs as a model system for genetics and cancer research. The US National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) agreed to fund a project to sequence the entire genome of a boxer dog named Tasha, because it recognized the value of the dog as an unrivaled model for the study of human disease. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) led the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) contribution to the International Human Genome Project, which had as its primary goal the sequencing of the human genome. This project was successfully completed in April 2003. Now, the NHGRI's mission has expanded to encompass a broad range of studies aimed at understanding the structure and function of the human genome and its role in health and disease. To that end NHGRI supports the development of resources and technology that will accelerate genome research and its application to human health. A critical part of the NHGRI mission continues to be the study of the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of genome research. NHGRI also supports the training of investigators and the dissemination of genome information to the public and to health professionals.

DoTS (Database Of Transcribed Sequences) is a human and mouse transcript index created from all publicly available transcript sequences. The input sequences are clustered and assembled to form the DoTS Consensus Transcripts that comprise the index. These transcripts are assigned stable identifiers of the form DT.123456 (and are often referred to as dots). The transcripts are in turn clustered to form putative DoTS Genes. These are assigned stable identifiers of the form DG.1234356. As of September 1, 2004, the DoTS annotation team has manually annotated 43,164 human and 78,054 mouse DoTS Transcripts (DTs), corresponding to 3,939 human and 7,752 mouse DoTS Genes (DGs). Use the manually annotated gene query to see the DoTS Transcripts that have been manually annotated. The focus of the DoTS project is integrating the various types of data (e.g., EST sequences, genomic sequence, expression data, functional annotation) in a structured manner which facilitates sophisticated queries that are otherwise not easy to perform. DoTS is built on the GUS Platform which includes a relational database that uses controlled vocabularies and ontologies to ensure that biologically meaningful queries can be posed in a uniform fashion. An easy way to start using the site is to search for DoTS Transcripts using an existing cDNA or mRNA sequence. Click on the BLAST tab at the top of the page and enter your sequence in the form provided. All the transcripts with significant sequence similarity to your query sequence will be displayed. Or use one of the provided queries to retrieve transcripts using a number of criteria. These queries are listed on the query page, which can also be reached by clicking on the tab marked query at the top of the page. Finally, the boolean query page allows these queries to be combined in a variety of ways. Sponsors: Funding provided by -NIH grant RO1-HG-01539-03 -DOE grant DE-FG02-00ER62893

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/IPI

IPI provides a top level guide to the main databases (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, UniProtKB/TrEMBL, RefSeq, Ensembl, TAIR, H-InvDB, Vega) that describe the proteomes of higher eukaryotic organisms. IPI: :1. effectively maintains a database of cross references between the primary data sources :2. provides minimally redundant yet maximally complete sets of proteins for featured species (one sequence per transcript) :3. maintains stable identifiers (with incremental versioning) to allow the tracking of sequences in IPI between IPI releases. IPI is updated monthly in accordance with the latest data released by the primary data sources. As previously announced, the closure of IPI has been proposed for some time. Replacement data sets are now available through UniProt for human and mouse; sets for the other species contained within IPI are expected to be included as part of the UniProt release 2011_07. To allow users time to transition to using the new UniProt data sets, IPI releases will continue to be produced throughout the summer. The final release will be made in September 2011. Thereafter, the IPI website will cease to be maintained, although previous releases of the dataset will continue to be available from the FTP site. We would like to thank our users for their support and interest in this service.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. This free neuropsychological evaluation software, Repeat, examines performance on a serial reaction time task thought to depend upon implicit memory. Participant's acquisition of a repeating stimulus sequence is assessed in this task. Repeat is a modification of procedures reported by Nissen and Bullemer (1987) and by Lewick, Hill and Bizot (1988). The computer screen is divided into quadrants. A single X, appears in one of the quadrants. The participant's task is either, depending on response modality, to strike as quickly as possible the key (4, 5, 1, 2 on the numeric keypad) corresponding to the quadrant in which the X appears or to position the mouse pointer over the quadrant and click it. The X then appears according to a repeating pre-programmed sequence in a different quadrant and the participant is required to respond as quickly as possible to that X. A trial is made up of a series of the repeating sequence. Sequence order and length and the number of iterations of the sequence are predetermined by the experimenter. CATs Repeat also allows for the interleaving of a randomly positioned X between each sequenced X. Alternatively a series of random presentations can be programmed to allow for assessment of the baseline speed of responding, that is a condition under which the participant can acquire no anticipatory information to enhance speed of responding. Repeat also contains a dual-task or split attention component modeled after a task reported by Nissen and Bullemer (1987). This task is identical to the one described above except that either a low or high tone is presented with each X presentation and the participant is asked to count the number of low tones they heard during a trial. The relative frequency of low tones is experimenter definable. Finally Repeat allows for the assessment of the explicit knowledge the participant may have acquired of the sequence. This component of the task is modeled after the generate procedure reported by Nissen and Bullemer (1987). At any point in the experiment the participant can be asked to begin predicting where the X will appear next. At this time no normative data is available for this test.

https://neuropsychological-assessment-tests.com/sanzen-tower-london-test

CATs Tower of London test is a free, computer-based software test originally developed by Shallice (1982) to investigate problem solving in subjects with damage to the frontal lobes. The CATs Tower of London Test comes with one preprogrammed test along with extensive normative data for that test. You can also create a test using your design. Briefly, subjects are required to move colored beads from a window on the left (working area) until they achieve the arrangement in the window on the right (goal position). Subjects are instructed to try to achieve the goal arrangement in as few moves as possible. The software contains a Tower of London test. The test contains trials with 3 beads and 3 pegs, 4 beads and 4 pegs, and 5 beads and 5 pegs. You can use the Setup screen to create a test using your design. A test can contain 3, 4, and 5 bead problems with varying number of moves required for the optimal solution. In Shallice's initial investigation using the Tower of London, patients with damage to the left anterior frontal lobe demonstrated impaired planning (i.e., greater number of moves required for solution). Patients with damage to the right anterior, and left or right posterior areas of the frontal lobes were not impaired. Thus, results from this initial study provided support for the view that the left anterior frontal lobe area is involved in the planning required for solving the Tower of London test. Recent studies using neuroimaging techniques support this notion. Studies using regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) imaging indicate an involvement of the left frontal lobes in the planning required for successfully completing the Tower of London puzzle. Studies of patients with damage to the frontal lobes indicate less cortical specificity, but are consistent with the view that the frontal lobes are involved in the planning required for solving this puzzle.

https://neuropsychological-assessment-tests.com/sanzen-reaction-time-test

Reaction Time is free neuropsychological evaluation software designed to assess subject's speed of processing on three relatively simple tasks. Tasks include a simple reaction time test, a choice test, and a conditional choice test. Participants are shown a series of visual stimuli on a computer screen and asked to respond by pulling an appropriate trigger on a standard game pad. Both reaction time and the trigger pulled are recorded for subsequent analysis. Tasks to be used in the test, the average inter-stimulus interval and the number of stimuli presented for each task can be set by the investigator. The analysis includes means and standard deviations for response latencies for a single session, as well as the capability of evaluating a participant's performance on a particular session against their performance on a series of sessions. This test requires the use of a game pad that supports at least four buttons and provides a right and left trigger button. We have tested several different brands of inexpensive game pads and have found them acceptable; however we have standardized on Microsoft's SideWinder and have used it in collecting the normative data for this test.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. Visual span tests have been frequently used to assess non-verbal short-term memory. The free computer-based CATs Visual Span provides you with a flexible package for designing tests of visual spatial memory. You can create your own unique tests or variations on previously reported versions of the visual span test. For example in the Corsis Block-Tapping Test the examiner places nine blocks on a board and taps them in a designated sequence. The participant is required to repeat the sequence. Over trials the length of the sequence is increased (see Milner, 1971). The Knox Cube Imitation Test uses four blocks and essentially follows the same logic. The Wechsler Memory Scale - Revised includes a two part visual memory span test. In this test the examiner points at boxes on an eight box card in a prearranged sequence and the subject is required to repeat back the sequence. The initial trial starts with a sequence of two blocks and increases over trials. The two parts of this test are a forward visual span test and a reverse visual span test. Tests similar to these and more can be setup with the CATs Visual Span.

http://geneticassociationdb.nih.gov/

The Genetic Association Database is an archive of human genetic association studies of complex diseases and disorders. The goal of this database is to allow the user to rapidly identify medically relevant polymorphism from the large volume of polymorphism and mutational data, in the context of standardized nomenclature. The data is from published scientific papers. Study data is recorded in the context of official human gene nomenclature with additional molecular reference numbers and links. It is gene centered. That is, each record is a record of a gene or marker. If a study investigated 6 genes for a particular disorder, there will be 6 records. Anyone may view this database and anyone may submit records. You do not have to be an author on the original study to submit a record. All submitted records will be reviewed before inclusion in the archive. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to human diseases. Most common diseases are influenced by a large number of genetic and environmental factors, most of which individually have only a modest effect on the disease. Though genetic contributions are relatively well characterized for some monogenetic diseases, there has been no effort at curating the extensive list of environmental etiological factors. From a comprehensive search of the MeSH annotation of MEDLINE articles, they identified 3,342 environmental etiological factors associated with 3,159 diseases. They also identified 1,100 genes associated with 1,034 complex diseases from the NIH Genetic Association Database (GAD), a database of genetic association studies. 863 diseases have both genetic and environmental etiological factors available. Integrating genetic and environmental factors results in the etiome, which they define as the comprehensive compendium of disease etiology.
