Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database (SPReD) (RRID:SCR_005508) | SPReD | data or information resource, database, image | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 28,2025. The Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database (SPReD) initiative creates the infrastructure needed for the collection of a wide range of data related to stroke risk factors and to stroke recovery. It also promotes the analysis and management of large brain and vessel images. A major goal is to create a comprehensive electronic database Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database or SPReD and populate it with patient data, including demographic, biomarker, genetic and proteomic data and imaging data. SPReD will enable us to combine descriptions of our stroke patients from multiple projects that are geographically distributed. We will do this in a uniform fashion in order to enhance our ability to document rates of recovery; to study the effects of vascular risk factors and inflammatory biomarkers; and to use these data to improve their physical and cognitive recovery through innovative intervention programs. This comprehensive database will provide an integrated repository of data with which our researchers will investigate and test original ideas, ultimately leading to knowledge that can be applied clinically to benefit stroke survivors. | stroke, demographic, biomarker, genetic, proteomic, imaging, clinical, brain, vessel, risk factor, recovery | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE | nlx_144609 | SCR_005508 | Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database | 2026-02-16 09:46:29 | 0 | ||||||||

3D surgical atlases of the murine head Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
3D surgical atlases of the murine head (RRID:SCR_008039) | data or information resource, atlas | 3D interactive atlas of two mouse brains, 129S1/SvImJ and C57Bl/6J. The aim of this resource is to enhance comparative morphometric analyses and stereotactic surgical procedures in mice. These representations of the murine brain and skull, in conjunction with the resource''s development of a new, more dynamic master coordinate system, provide improved accuracy with respect to targeting CNS structures during surgery compared with previous systems. The interactive three-dimensional nature of these atlases also provide users with stereotactic information necessary to perform accurate off-axis surgical procedures, as is commonly required for experiments such as in vivo micro-electroporation. In addition, three-dimensional analysis of the brain and skull shape in C57Bl, 129Sv, CD1, and additional murine strains, suggests that a stereotactic coordinate system based upon the lambda and rostral confluence of the sinuses at the sagittal midline, provides improved accuracy compared with the traditional lambdabregma landmark system. These findings demonstrate the utility of developing highly accurate and robust three-dimensional representations of the murine brain and skull, in which experimental outputs can be directly compared using a unified coordinate system. | 129s1/svimj, anatomy, brain, c57bl/6j, central nervous system, digital atlas, imaging assay, in vivo, micro-electroporation, morphometric analysis, skull, sterotactic, transgenic, imaging | has parent organization: University of Toronto; Ontario; Canada | Canadian Institute for Health Research ; Ontario Research Development Challenge ; NARSAD Young Investigator award |

International Consortium of Brain Mapping DTI-81 Atlas Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
International Consortium of Brain Mapping DTI-81 Atlas (RRID:SCR_008066) | data or information resource, atlas | A stereotaxic probabilistic white matter atlas that fuses DTI-based white matter information with an anatomical template (ICBM-152). This atlas is based on probabilistic tensor maps obtained from 81 normal subjects acquired under an initiative of the International Consortium of Brain Mapping (ICBM). The subjects were normal right-handed adults ranging from 18 to 59 years of age. A hand-segmented white matter parcellation map was created from this averaged map. This map can be used for automated white matter parcellation. The precision of the affine-based image normalization and automated parcellation was measured for a group of normal subjects using manually defined anatomical landmarks. The raw diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) were first co-registered to one of the least diffusion-weighted images and corrected for subject motion with 6-mode rigid transformation with Automated Image Registgration (AIR). The average of all DWIs (aDWI) was calculated and used for a DTI-based anatomic image. For anatomical images to drive the normalization process, aDWIs were used. These images were normalized to the template (ICBM-152) using a 12-mode affine or 4th order polynomial non-linear transformation of AIR. The transformation matrix was then applied to the calculated diffusion tensor field. In the white matter parcellation map (WMPM), deep white matter regions were manually segmented into various anatomic structures based on fiber orientation information. | adult, echo-planar image sequence, external capsule, fornix, stria terminalis, anatomical template, anterior commissure, anterior limb of internal capsule, association fiber, brain, brainstem, cerebral peduncle, cingulum, commissural fiber, corona radiata, corpus callosum, corticospinal tract, inferior cerebellar peduncle, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, inferior longitudinal fasciculus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, uncinate fasciculus, medial lemniscus, medial longitudinal fasciculus, middle cerebellar peduncle, posterior limb of internal capsule, projection fiber, retrolenticular part of the internal capsule, sagittal stratum, superior cerebellar peduncle, superior fronto-occipital fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus, tapetum, tensor map, tract, white matter, magnetic resonance imaging | has parent organization: University of California at Los Angeles; California; USA | nif-0000-10495 | http://www.loni.ucla.edu/Atlases/Atlas_Detail.jsp?atlas_id=15 | SCR_008066 | ICBM DTI-81 | 2026-02-16 09:47:06 | 2 | ||||||||
