Annotated magnetic resonance brain images, both slices and surface views, normalized to Talairach space, along with annotations and a nice tutorial on image normalization. A viewer for MRI images (MRicro) is available and is described in a separate entry. Series of coronal, axial and sagittal brain slices along with some rendered volumes with major brain structures delineated. Slices are presented as static series with partial overlap of slices, so they are not suitable for 3d reconstruction. This neuroanatomy atlas shows regions on normalized MRI scans. Normalization is the process of warping a brain to match a standard size, orientation and shape of other brains. You can normalize MRI scans using programs like AIR, FLIRT or SPM. Once normalized, the overall shape of your MRI scan will approximately match those in this atlas. However, normalization preserves the unique sulcal features of each brain, so there will be some variation between your image and the images shown in this atlas. There is a great deal of individual variability even after normalization, so any atlas is only a rough guide to the shape and location of structures in an individuals brain. As I have noted before, secondary and tertiary sulci are not found in all individuals (Ono et al. 1990, Atlas of Cerebral Sulci). Another benefit of normalizing brains is it makes it easy to complete an accurate "scalp stripping" with brain extracting software (my MRIcro software implements Steve Smith's BET for this task). You can then create a useful volume rendering of the cortical surface. Typically, it is much easier to identify cortical sulci and gyri by looking at a rendered image of the brain's surface. This atlas shows you how to recognize these landmarks on a rendered MRI scan.

http://www.mknt.hu/sites/default/files/NEPSYBANK_0.doc

The Hungarian Society of Clinical Neurgenetics established a nationwide collaboration for prospective collection of human biological materials and databases from patient with neurological and psychiatric diseases. The basic triangle of the NEPSYBANK is the sample, the information and the study management. The present participants of the NEPSYBANK are the Department of Neurology and Psychiatry of the four Medical Universities (in Budapest, Debrecen, Pecs, Szeged) and the National Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Budapest. The NEPSYBANK is a disease based biobank collecting both phenotypical and environmental data and biological materials such as DNA/RNA, whole blood, plasma, cerebral spinal fluid, muscle / nerve / skin biopsy, brain, and fibroblast. The target of the diseases is presently (Phase I): stroke syndromes, dementias, movement disorders, motoneuron diseases, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, alcohol addiction. In the near future (Phase II.) it is planned to enlarge the scale with headaches, disorders of the peripheral nerves, disorders of neuromuscular transmission, disorders of skeletal muscle, depression, anxiety. DNA/RNA is usually extracted from whole blood, but occasionally different tissues such as muscle, brain etc. can be used as well. The extracting procedures differ among the institutes, but in all cases the concentration and the quality of the DNA/RNA must be registered in the database. Participating institutional biobanks have committed themselves to follow common quality standards, which provide access to samples after prioritization on scientific grounds only. In every case the following data are registered. 1. General data: main bank categories, age, sex, ethnicity, body height, body weight, economic stats, education, type of place of living, marital status, birth complications, alcohol, drugs, smoking. 2. Sample properties (sample ID, type of sample, date of extraction, concentration, and level of purity). General patient data as blood pressure, heart rate, internal medical status, ECG, additional diseases. Disease specific question e.g. in schizophrenia the diagnosis after DSMIV and ICD 10, detailed diagnostic questions after both classification, detailed psychiatric and neurological status, laboratory findings, rating scales, data of neuroimaging, genetic tests, applied medication (with generic name, dose, duration), adverse drug effects and other treatments. The Biobank Information Management System (BIMS) is responsible for linkage of databases containing information on the individual sample donors. If you want to have samples from the NEPSYBANK an application must be submitted containing the following information: short research plan including aims and study design, ethic application with a positive decision, specific demands regarding the right of disposition, agreements with grant organizations which regulate immaterial property, information about financing (academic grants, support from industry). All participants have the right to withdraw their samples through a simple order.

Encourages and facilitates brain tissue donation for use in the best scientific studies to better understand the biological basis of autism down to the cellular and molecular levels and through that understanding bring about the development of effective interventions for those affected by autism spectrum disorders. To ensure the best co-ordinated use of brain tissue, the UK Brain Bank for Autism works in collaboration with the Autism Tissue Program in the US and shares the same Tissue Advisory board. The Brain Bank for Autism & Related Developmental Research was established in 2009. It is an initiative to develop a similar program in the UK to the Autism Tissue Program, which has been developed in the US since 1998. Our Brain Bank is the first extension outside the US of the Autism Tissue Program and is integrated with it. The Brain Bank is based at Oxford University, where it forms part of the Thomas Willis Oxford Brain Collection. It operates in accordance with all UK legal and ethical requirements. The donation of post-mortem brain tissue for this research program is of fundamental importance to our understanding of the causes of autism and to help us develop more effective diagnostic measures and interventions. A separate brain bank for autism is necessary because we need to understand how, in autism, the brain develops over time and how the brain functions as a whole. However, our Brain Bank will promote close cooperation across all relevant brain banks in order to take the research forward. Our research focuses on: * people within the autism spectrum or their family members * people not affected by autism but who are affected by epilepsy * individuals without autism or epilepsy.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 27,2025. Compact 3rd edition of The Rat Brain Atlas of Paxinos & Watson published in 1997, it is the most widely used stereotaxic reference system for rat brain. The illustrations and nomenclature of the atlas have become standard tools used by almost all research neuroscientists who deal with anatomy, physiology, or function. It has been subsequently updated, with the 6th edition being the most recent. The 3rd edition is the most recent one available online for free. The program runs in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
