http://niftilib.sourceforge.net

Niftilib is a set of i/o libraries for reading and writing files in the nifti-1 data format. nifti-1 is a binary file format for storing medical image data, e.g. magnetic resonance image (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) brain images. Niftilib currently has C, Java, MATLAB, and Python libraries; we plan to add some MATLAB/mex interfaces to the C library in the not too distant future. Niftilib has been developed by members of the NIFTI DFWG and volunteers in the neuroimaging community and serves as a reference implementation of the nifti-1 file format. In addition to being a reference implementation, we hope it is also a useful i/o library. Niftilib code is released into the public domain, developers are encouraged to incorporate niftilib code into their applications, and, to contribute changes and enhancements to niftilib. Please contact us if you would like to contribute additonal functionality to the i/o library.

http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/LIPRO

An ontology that describes the LIPIDMAPS nomenclature classification explicitly using description logics (OWL-DL). Lipid classes are organized hierarchically with the super-classes restricted by generic necessary conditions. More specific necessary conditions are used to define membership requirements for sub classes of lipid according to appropriate functional groups. Lipid research is increasingly integrated within systems level biology such as lipidomics where lipid classification is required before appropriate annotation of chemical functions can be applied.

The Institute for Sensory Research (ISR) defines itself as a world class research center dedicated to the discovery and application of knowledge of the sensory systems. Integration of engineering, life, and physical sciences, combining rigorous experimental methodology with mathematical analysis is stressed. Our multidisciplinary approach to bioengineering, sensory neuroscience, graduate, and undergraduate education, makes ISR a unique academic research center. At ISR, we study sensory systems, our gateways to the world. Our ears, eyes, skin, and mouth are channels through which we experience sound, light, texture, etc. These are functions that we usually take for granted until problems arise. Engineers, scientists, and students at ISR investigate both the basic sensory principles used by the brain, and also how the sensory systems can be best utilized, modified, and repaired if necessary to better communicate with our surroundings and with one another. In addition to basic research in hearing, touch, vision, and oro-facial biomechanics, recent projects include the design and testing of sensory-aid devices such as cochlear implants, hearing aids, ear protectors, and tactile aids for the visually and hearing impaired. Additional projects involve visual-depth perception, chewing and swallowing, oto-acoustic emissions, and personal care products such as oral rinses and skin lotions.

Faculty of the Department of Neuroscience participate in the teaching of courses in the Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience and the School of Medicine. A Ph.D. in Neuroscience is offered through the Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience. Support for graduate training is offered through the Department, the research grants of individual faculty, as well as through three NIH training grants directed by Neuroscience faculty. * Training in Recovery of Function after CNS Injury. Program Director: Barbara S. Bregman, Ph.D. * Training Program in Drug Abuse. Program Director: Barbara S. Bayer, Ph.D. * Training in Neural Injury and Plasticity. Program Director: Jean R. Wrathall, Ph.D. Scientists in the Department of Neuroscience participate in a wide array of research activities with a focus on understanding both the normal and injured nervous system. The theme of neuroplasticity characterizes much of the research in the Department. We study neuroplasticity during normal development and in the adult in response to activity (e.g., learning) or drugs. Our research is also focused on studying the plasticity that ensues after traumatic (such as spinal cord injury) or ischemic damage to the nervous system and over the course of developmental or neurodegenerative diseases (such as Specific Language Impairment, autism, or Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Diseases). The specific research interests of each of the principal investigators falls under four broad subheadings: *CNS disorders ( Faden, Mocchetti, Rebeck, Riesenhuber,Ullman) *Cognitive/Computational (Riesenhuber, Ullman) *Development, Regeneration and recovery of function after injury (Bregman, Faden, Kromer, Ullman, Wrathall) *Neuroimmunology and Drugs of Abuse (Bayer, Faden, Kromer, Mocchetti) Under this common theme, a variety of diverse techniques and models are employed by the faculty. They range from molecular studies of gene function to studies on humans using Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) and functional MRI. Experimental models include cell culture systems, rodent genetic and experimental models of nervous system injury and disorders, as well as the use of computer simulations to understand higher cortical processing.

The mission of the Department of Neurobiology is to promote research and teaching that leads to a better understanding of the normal and diseased brain. The Department faculty are committed to training leaders of the next generation of neuroscientists, including graduate and medical students. Candidates for the Ph.D. in Neurobiology are admitted to the graduate Program in Neuroscience. This interdepartmental training program links the Department of Neurobiology with faculty in the Harvard affiliated hospitals and with faculty in other basic science departments. The Program, established in 1981, now includes about 90 investigators who participate in the training of Ph.D. candidates. Approximately fifteen students are accepted each year so that the steady state enrollment is usually about 80-90. This Program in Neuroscience attracts superb students with a broad range of interests from all areas of the globe. The goals of our training are to produce scientists who have explored one area and one level of analysis in great depth, but who are familiar with the full scope of neuroscience. They should be able to move from one level to another in a critical and creative manner. We also try to develop an appreciation for translational research that bears on human brain disease. The Department of Neurobiology, established in 1966 with Stephen W. Kuffler as Chair, was the first of its kind. The intent was to bring together members of traditional departments- physiologists, biochemists, and anatomists- in order to understand the principles governing communication between cells in the nervous system. This interdisciplinary approach was revolutionary at the time, and the interdisciplinary theme has continued to permeate the evolution of the field of neuroscience ever since. The Program in Neuroscience is one of four programs administered by the Division of Medical Sciences (DMS). DMS, located at the medical school, is a division of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University.

Software package providing an approximation method to determine relative gene expression with quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) experiments. It requires no standard curve for each primer-target pair, therefore reducing the working load and yet returning accurate enough results as long as the assumptions of the amplification efficiency hold. The package implements a pipeline to collect, analyze and visualize qRT-PCR results, for example those from TaqMan SDM software, mainly using the ddCt method. The pipeline can be either invoked by a script in command-line or through the API consisting of S4-Classes, methods and functions.
