The Brain Bank was developed with two service-minded objectives: provide a free brain autopsy to confirm clinical diagnosis of dementia, and collect, bank and provide brain tissue to qualified scientific researchers studying diseases related to dementia. By working together, patients and researchers can help us understand the origins of neurodegenerative disease and eventually improve the treatment and care of dementia. The clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can only be confirmed by brain autopsy, or the examination of brain tissue after death. This examination will determine a patients's precise type of dementia. To confirm the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, for example, the brain tissue is examined for amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles by a neuropathologist. The presence of these plaques and tangles will verify the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. While it is important to us to enroll patients with dementia, it is equally important to enroll people with no dementia. These subjects are termed as controls and the brain tissue from controls will enable researchers to make comparisons to brain tissue from dementia patients. We are seeking donations from individuals who have had an age-related neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy Body or other related dementia.

Open tools to support data management for biological light microscopy produced by a multi-site collaborative effort among academic laboratories and a number of commercial entities. Designed to interact with existing commercial software, all OME formats and software are free, and all OME source code is available under the GNU General public license or through commercial license from Glencoe Software. OME is developed as a joint project between research-active laboratories at the Dundee, NIA Baltimore, and Harvard Medical School and LOCI. In addition, OME has active collaborations with many imaging and informatics groups. While many other applications could use OME''s architecture and design, their specific implementation is focused on biological and biomedical imaging. Those interested in applying OME''s technology to other applications should contact the developers. OME work is divided into several different standards and software projects: * Bio-Formats: A Java-based library for reading and writing over 90 microscopy file formats. * OMERO Software: The Java-based OMERO software project, which currently includes tools for storing, visualizing, managing, and annotating microscopic images and metadata. * OME-XML & OME-TIFF: The OME-XML and OME-TIFF file format specifications, which are open file formats for sharing microscope image data. * OME Server: This was the original OME server project which has now ended and is a legacy product. It implements image-based analysis of cellular dynamics and image-based screening of cellular localization or phenotypes, and included a fully developed version of the 2003 version of OME-XML Schema language.
