We can say cure now with much more confidence than we could even 10 years ago because recent advances in genetics, brain imaging and drug therapy, all hold out the promise of that holy grail the cure. We can also say with confidence that you can be part of that push by participating in this new foundation since we have collaborations with doctors and scientists all over Europe, the US and Australia, all of whom share the same goal. Epilepsy research, conducted by Epilepsy Research Ireland, is essential and will deliver benefits across the board. Research planned and already underway by Epilepsy Research Ireland will help develop and improve clinical skills; it will provide a knowledge base to develop new ways to manage and treat epilepsy; it will help in the evaluation of new medical advances. Ultimately we can improve the quality of care and provide greater understanding, better and more accurate diagnosis and more tailored treatments. Ireland is uniquely well-positioned, given its relatively homogenous population to make the goal, of making real discoveries in epilepsy research that will directly improve the lives of people with epilepsy, a realistic one. | epilepsy, brain | nlx_143739 | http://www.epilepsyresearchireland.org/index.php?id=17 | SCR_004448 | 2026-02-14 02:00:58 | 0 | |||||||||

Knowledge is critical for families to access expert care and ensure quality of life. Our free publication A Resource Guide for Parents of Children with Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors is now in its fourth edition, and is full of practical information to sort out the complexities of medical procedures, interruptions in school and social life, and uncertainty about the future. CBTF co-sponsors conferences for families, survivors and health care professionals, offering the latest information about research, treatments and strategies for living. Only scientific research will identify the causes and lead to effective treatments for brain tumors in children. CBTF funds cutting-edge research by scientists at top academic medical centers. Their discoveries hold the promise of improving the lives of affected children today and discovering the means of prevention for future generations. CBTF has awarded over $5 million in grants for basic and clinical research related to pediatric brain and spinal cord tumors. Also, over $625,000 has been given out in Quality of Life Grants. | brain tumor, child, pediatric, spinal cord tumor, tumor, brain, spinal cord, cancer | grid.428138.4, nlx_143732, Crossref funder ID: 100002017 | https://ror.org/0053krp57 | SCR_004422 | Children's Brain Tumor Foundation | 2026-02-14 02:00:43 | 0 | ||||||||

neuroVIISAS (RRID:SCR_006010) | neuroVIISAS | data visualization software, data processing software, d visualization software, data analytics software, network graph visualization software, software application, software resource | An open framework for integrative data analysis, visualization and population simulations for the exploration of network dynamics on multiple levels. This generic platform allows the integration of neuroontologies, mapping functions for brain atlas development, and connectivity data administration; all of which are required for the analysis of structurally and neurobiologically realistic simulations of networks. What makes neuroVIISAS unique is the ability to integrate neuroontologies, image stacks, mappings, visualizations, analyzes and simulations to use them for modelling and simulations. Based on the analysis of over 2020 tracing studies, atlas terminologies and registered histological stacks of images, neuroVIISAS permits the definition of neurobiologically realistic networks that are transferred to the simulation engine NEST. The analysis on a local and global level, the visualization of connectivity data and the results of simulations offer new possibilities to study structural and functional relationships of neural networks. neuroVIISAS provide answers to questions like: # How can we assemble data of tracing studies? (Metastudy) # Is it possible to integrate tracing and brainmapping data? (Data Integration) # How does the network of analyzed tracing studies looks like? (Visualization) # Which graph theoretical properties posses such a network? (Analysis) # Can we perform population simulations of a tracing study based network? (Simulation and higher level data integration) neuroVIISAS can be used to organize mapping and connectivity data of central nervous systems of any species. The rat brain project of neuroVIISAS contains 450237 ipsi- and 175654 contralateral connections. A list of evaluated tracing studies are available. PyNEST script generation does work using WINDOWS OS, however, the script must be transferred to a UNIX OS with installed NEST. The results file of the NEST simulation can be visualized and analyzed by neuroVIISAS on a WINDOWS OS. | platform, simulation, mapping data, connectivity data, central nervous system, tracing, connectivity, java, image modality, pynest, nest, animation, brain, nervous system, brain mapping, neuroimaging, terminology, ontology, connectomics, atlas, population spike analysis, analytics, connectome, 3d visualization, visual analytics, ontology |

Atrophy Simulation Package Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Atrophy Simulation Package (RRID:SCR_006046) | Atrophy Simulation | software resource, simulation software, software application | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on June 2, 2023. Software package used to simulate brain images with local growth / atrophy within a prescribed spherical region. Specifically, given an input image and its segmented image, the location of the center of the spherical region, and the radius of that sphere, it simulates new images that have tissue growth or shrinkage within that pre-specified brain region according to given rates (atrophy for rates less than one and growth for rates greater than one). The algorithm uses an iterative procedure that tries to achieve the given level of volumetric change for brain tissues within the region, by seeking a smooth deformation field, whose Jacobian determinants match the prescribed volume change rate within the region. Note that in the current software, the simulation of growth or atrophy for brain tissue requires that the input spherical region has to cover some CSF or background regions. | neuroimaging, brain, topology, atrophy, mri, deformation, image registration, brain modeling, biomedical imaging, volume measurement, model, morphology, tissue atrophy, brain tissue | has parent organization: University of Pennsylvania; Philadelphia; USA | PMID:15250639 PMID:16689268 PMID:16997578 |
