http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/DOT/resources/tmcimg/
Software application that uses a Monte Carlo algorithm to model the transport of photons through 3D volumes with spatially varying optical properties. Both highly-scattering tissues (e.g. white matter) and weakly scattering tissues (e.g. cerebral spinal fluid) are supported. Using the anatomical information provided by MRI, X-ray CT, or ultrasound, accurate solutions to the photon migration forward problems are computed in times ranging from minutes to hours, depending on the optical properties and the computing resources available.

ConnectomeDB stores raw image data, as well as results of analysis and processing pipelines. Using the ConnectomeDB infrastructure, research centers will be also able to manage Connectome-like projects, including data upload and entry, quality control, processing pipelines, and data distribution. ConnectomeDB is designed to be a data-mining tool, that allows users to generate and test hypotheses based on groups of subjects. Using the ConnectomeDB interface, users can easily search, browse and filter large amounts of subject data, and download necessary files for many kinds of analysis. ConnectomeDB is designed to work seamlessly with Connectome Workbench, an interactive, multidimensional visualization platform designed specifically for handling connectivity data. De-identified data within ConnectomeDB is publicly accessible. Access to additional data may be available to qualified research investigators. ConnectomeDB is being hosted on a BlueArc storage platform housed at Washington University through the year 2020. This data platform is based on XNAT, an open-source image informatics software toolkit developed by the NRG at Washington University. ConnectomeDB itself is fully open source.

Designed for use in an MRI simulator, MoTrak software uses Ascension Technology?s Flock of Birds. The sensor attaches to the subject?s head and determines the position of the head in space relative to the transmitter. The sensor records angular rotations as well as positional displacements from an initially calibrated position. This information is displayed and logged by the program in real-time, allowing observation of head motion in an MRI simulator. In the simulator, the participant can simultaneously be habituated to the MRI environment, while being trained to remain still via feedback from the MoTrak system.

Online access (html or xml) to structural connectivity ("wiring") data on the Macaque brain. The database has become by far the largest of its kind, with data extracted from more than four hundred published tracing studies. The main database, contains data from tracing studies on anatomical connectivity in the macaque cerebral cortex. Also available are a variety of tools including a graphical simulation workbench, map displays and the CoCoMac-Paxinos-3D viewer. Submissions are welcome. To overcome the problem of divergent brain maps ORT (Objective Relational Transformation) was developed, an algorithmic method to convert data in a coordinate- independent way based on logical relations between areas in different brain maps. CoCoMac data is used to analyze the organization of the cerebral cortex, and to establish its structure- function relationships. This includes multi-variate statistics and computer simulation of models that take into account the real anatomy of the primate cerebral cortex. This site * Provides full, scriptable open access to the data in CoCoMac (you must adhere to the citation policy) * Powers the graphical interface to CoCoMac provided by the Scalable Brain Atlas * Sports an extensive search/browse wizard, which automatically constructs complex search queries and lets you further explore the database from the results page. * Allows you to get your hands dirty, by using the custom SQL query service. * Displays connectivity data in tabular form, through the axonal projections service. CoCoMac 2 was initiated at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and is currently supported by the German neuroinformatics node and the Computational and Systems Neuroscience group at the Juelich research institute.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. An international research partnership of leading scientists determined to understand a rare form of Alzheimers disease that is caused by a gene mutation and to establish a research database and tissue repository to support research on Alzheimers disease by other investigators around the world. One goal of DIAN is to study possible brain changes that occur before Alzheimers disease is expressed in people who carry an Alzheimers disease mutation. Other family members without a mutation will serve as a comparison group. People in families in which a mutation has been identified will be tracked in order to detect physical or mental changes that might distinguish people who inherited the mutation from those who did not. DIAN currently involves eleven outstanding research institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. John C. Morris, M.D., Friedman Distinguished Professor of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is the principal investigator of the project., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
