Center to advance research and training in mathematical, computational and modern imaging approaches to understanding the brain and its functions. Software tools and associated reconstruction data produced in the center are available. Researchers study the relationships between neural function and structure at levels ranging from the molecular and cellular, through network organization of the brain. This involves the development of new computational and analytic tools for imaging and visualization of 3-D neural morphology, from the gross topologic characteristics of the dendritic arbor to the fine structure of spines and their synapses. Numerical simulations of neural mechanisms based on these structural data are compared with in-vivo and in-vitro electrophysiological recordings. The group also develops new theoretical and analytic approaches to exploring the function of neural models of working memory. The goal of this analytic work is to combine biophysically realistic models and simulations with reduced mathematical models that capture essential dynamical behaviors while reproducing the functionally important features of experimental data. Research areas include: Imaging Studies, Volume Integration, Visualization Techniques, Medial Axis Extraction, Spine Detection and Classification, Applications of Rayburst, Analysis of Spatially Complex Structures, Computational Modeling, Mathematical and Analytic Studies

http://senselab.med.yale.edu/odordb

OdorDb is a database of odorant molecules, which can be searched in a few different ways. One can see odorant molecules in the OdorDB, and the olfactory receptors in ORDB that they experimentally shown to bind. You can search for odorant molecules based on their attributes or identities: Molecular Formula, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Number and Chemical Class. Functional studies of olfactory receptors involve their interactions with odor molecules. OdorDB contains a list of odors that have been identified as binding to olfactory receptors.

http://senselab.med.yale.edu/odormapdb

OdorMapDB is designed to be a database to support the experimental analysis of the molecular and functional organization of the olfactory bulb and its basis for the perception of smell. It is primarily concerned with archiving, searching and analyzing maps of the olfactory bulb generated by different methods. The first aim is to facilitate comparison of activity patterns elicited by odor stimulation in the glomerular layer obtained by different methods in different species. It is further aimed at facilitating comparison of these maps with molecular maps of the projections of olfactory receptor neuron subsets to different glomeruli, especially for gene targeted animals and for antibody staining. The main maps archived here are based on original studies using 2-deoxyglucose and on current studies using high resolution fMRI in mouse and rat. Links are also provided to sites containing maps by other laboratories. OdorMapDB thus serves as a nodal point in a multilaboratory effort to construct consensus maps integrating data from different methodological approaches. OdorMapDB is integrated with two other databases in SenseLab: ORDB, a database of olfactory receptor genes and proteins, and OdorDB, a database of odor molecules that serve as ligands for the olfactory receptor proteins. The combined use of the three integrated databases allows the user to identify odor ligands that activate olfactory receptors that project to specific glomeruli that are involved in generating the odor activity maps.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. An international research partnership of leading scientists determined to understand a rare form of Alzheimers disease that is caused by a gene mutation and to establish a research database and tissue repository to support research on Alzheimers disease by other investigators around the world. One goal of DIAN is to study possible brain changes that occur before Alzheimers disease is expressed in people who carry an Alzheimers disease mutation. Other family members without a mutation will serve as a comparison group. People in families in which a mutation has been identified will be tracked in order to detect physical or mental changes that might distinguish people who inherited the mutation from those who did not. DIAN currently involves eleven outstanding research institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. John C. Morris, M.D., Friedman Distinguished Professor of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is the principal investigator of the project., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

http://cbl.uh.edu/ORION/research/software

ORION is our neuron reconstruction software package developed for the morphological reconstruction of neurons from confocal and multiphoton microscopy data. It accepts raw neuron stack data as input and it is capable of reconstructing the neuron structure, visualizing the output, and exporting the reconstruction in a variety of formats. We are developing tools that will enable Neuroscientists to explore single neuron function via sophisticated image analysis. Advanced optical imaging can produce both structural and functional data and is at the forefront of experimentally exploring the fast, small-scale dynamics of living neurons. Further, compartmental modeling of neuronal function enables rapid testing of hypotheses and estimating experimentally inaccessible parameters. Combining these two techniques will afford unprecedented capabilities in the study of single neuron function. Our software utility bridges the two Neuroscience techniques by rapidly, accurately, and robustly generating, from structural image data, a cylindrical morphology model suitable for simulating neuronal function.

http://www.rand.org/labor/FLS/IFLS.html

A dataset of an on-going multi-level longitudinal survey in Indonesia that collects extensive information on socio-economic and demographic characteristics of respondents, as well as extremely comprehensive interviews with local leaders about community services and facilities. The survey is ideally suited for research on topics related to important dynamic aging processes such as the transition from self-sufficiency to dependency, the decline from robust health to frailty, labor force and earning dynamics, wealth accumulation and decumulation, living arrangements and intergenerational transfers. The first wave of IFLS was fielded in 1993 and collected information on over 30,000 individuals living in 7,200 households. The sample covers 321 communities in 13 provinces in Indonesia and is representative of about 83% of the population. These households were revisited in 1997 (IFLS2), 2000 (IFLS3), and 2007-8 (IFLS4). A 25% sub-sample of households was re-interviewed in 1998 (IFLS2+). Special attention is paid to the measurement of health, including the measurement of anthropometry, blood pressure, lung capacity, a mobility test and collection of dry blood spots by a nurse or doctor. In addition to comprehensive life history data on education, work, migration, marriage and child bearing, the survey collects very detailed information on economic status of individuals and households. Links with non co-resident family members are spelled out in conjunction with information on borrowing and transfers. Information is gathered on participation in community activities and in public assistance programs. Measurement of health is a major focus of the survey. In addition to detailed information about use of private and public health services along with insurance status, respondents provide a self-reported assessment of health status. Detailed information on the local economy and prices of goods and services are also collected. These data may be matched with the individual and household-level data. Considerable attention has been placed on minimizing attrition in IFLS. In each re-survey, about 95% of households have been re-contacted. Around 10-15% of respondents have moved from the location in which they were interviewed in the previous wave. In addition, individuals who split-off from the original households have been followed. They have added around 1,000 households to the sample in 1997 and about 3,000 households in 2000. Data Availability: IFLS1 data are available through ICPSR as study number 6706. Data from subsequent waves of the IFLS can be accessed from the RAND project Website. * Dates of Study: 1993-2008 * Study Features: Longitudinal, International, Anthropometric Measures, Biomarkers * Sample Size: ** 1993: 22,000 (IFLS1) ** 1997: 33,000 (IFLS2) ** 1998: 10,000 (IFLS2+) ** 2000: 37,000 (IFLS3) ** 2008: 44,103 (IFLS4) Links: * IFLS1 ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06706 * IFLS ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/00184

A dataset of a panel study of a representative sample of all neighborhoods and households in Los Angeles County, with poor neighborhoods and families with children oversampled, for investigating the social and economic determinants of health and race and ethnic disparities. The study follows neighborhoods over time, as well as children and families. Two waves have been conducted to date, in 2000-2001 (L.A.FANS 1) and again beginning in 2006 through early 2009 (L.A. FANS 2). L.A.FANS-2 will significantly enhance the utility of the L.A.FANS data for studies of adult health disparities by: 1) Replicating self-reported health measures from L.A.FANS-1 and collecting new self-reports on treatment, health behaviors, functional limitations, quality and quantity of sleep, anxiety, health status vignettes, and changes in health status since the first interview; 2) Collecting physiological markers of disease and health status, including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, lung function, immune function, and cardiovascular disease; and 3) Expanding the data collected on adults'' work conditions, stressful experiences, and social ties. Wherever possible, L.A.FANS uses well-tested questions or sections from national surveys, such as the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS), and National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), and other urban surveys, such as the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, to facilitate comparisons. Data Availability: Public use data, study design, and questionnaire content from L.A.FANS are available for downloading. Researchers can also apply for a restricted use version of the L.A.FANS-1 data that contain considerable contextual and geographically-referenced information. Application procedures are described at the project Website. L.A.FANS-2 fieldwork was completed at the end of 2008. The PIs anticipate L.A.FANS-2 public use data will be released in summer 2009. * Dates of Study: 2000-2008 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority Oversamples, Anthropometric Measures, Biospecimens * Sample Size: ** 2000-1: 2,548 (L.A.FANS 1) ** 2006-8: ~3,600 (L.A.FANS 2) Link: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/00172

http://www.nia.nih.gov/research/intramural-research-program/dynamics-health-aging-and-body-composition-health-abc

A study that characterizes the extent of change in body composition in older men and women, identifies clinical conditions accelerating these changes, and examines the health impact of these changes on strength, endurance, disability, and weight-related diseases of old age. The study population consists of 3,075 persons age 70-79 at baseline with about equal numbers of men and women. Thirty-three percent of the men are African-Americans as are 46% of the women. All persons in the study were selected to be free of disability in activities of daily living and free of functional limitation (defined as any difficulty walking a quarter of a mile or any difficulty walking up 10 steps without resting) at baseline. The core yearly examination for HEALTH ABC includes measurement of body composition by dual energy x-ray absorptio��������metry (DXA), walking ability, strength, an interview that includes self-report of limitations, a medication survey, and weight (Measurements in the Health ABC Study). Provision has been made for banking of blood specimens and extracted DNA (HealthABC repository). Study investigators are open to collaboration especially for measures focused on obesity and associated weight-related health conditions including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, pulmonary function, cardiovascular disease, vascular disease, diabetes and glucose intolerance, and depression. The principal goals of the HEALTH ABC are: # To assess the association of baseline body weight, lean body mass, body fat, and bone mineral content, in relation to weight history, with: incident functional limitation; incidence and change in severity of weight-related health conditions; recovery of physical function after an acute event; baseline measures of strength, fitness and physical performance; gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic status # To access the contribution of episodes of severe acute illness in healthier older persons to changes in body weight, bone mineral content, lean body mass and body fat, and the relationship of these episodes to risk of functional limitation and recovery. # To assess the impact of weight-related co-morbid illness on the risk of functional limitation and recovery. # To assess the ways in which physiologic mediators of change in body composition influence and are influenced by changes in health in older adults and contribute to change in body composition; to understand how changes in body composition affect weight-related cardiovascular disease risk factors such as lipids, blood pressure and glucose tolerance. # To assess the interdependency of behavioral factors, such as nutrition and physical activity, co-morbid health conditions, and their association with change in body composition in old age. # To provide a firm scientific basis for understanding issues related to weight recommendations in old age through increased knowledge of the potential trade-offs between weight and risk of functional limitation, disability, morbidity and death; to provide information critical for developing effective strategies for the maintenance of health in older persons.

A data set of a longitudinal panel study of health, retirement, and aging that surveys a representative sample of more than 26,000 Americans over the age of 50 every two years. The HRS explores the changes in labor force participation and the health transitions that individuals undergo toward the end of their work lives and in the years that follow. The study captures a dynamic picture of an aging America''s physical and mental health, insurance coverage, financial status, family support systems, labor market status, and retirement planning. The sample in 2006 numbered over 22,000 persons in 13,100 households, with oversamples of Hispanics, Blacks and Florida residents. Beginning in 2006, half the sample received enhanced face-to-face follow-ups that included the collection of physical measures and biomarkers HRS provides a research data base that can simultaneously support continuous cross-sectional descriptions of the US population over the age of fifty-five, longitudinal studies of a given cohort over a substantial period of time (up to 18 years by 2010 for the original HRS cohort, following them from age 51-61 to age 69-79) and research on cross-cohort trends. By 2010 the HRS will be able to support cross-cohort comparisons of trajectories of health, labor supply, or wealth accumulation for persons who entered their 50s in 1992, 1998 and 2004. The HRS also has provided the sampling frame for targeted sub-studies. The Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study (ADAMS) supplement on dementia involved a field assessment of a sample of about 930 HRS panel members aged 75+ to clinically assess their dementia status and dementia severity. Special topics including consumption and time use, prescription drug use and the impact of Medicare Part D, parents'' human capital investments in children, and diabetes management by self-reported diabetics, have appeared on mail surveys that have used the HRS as a sampling frame. The HRS also can accommodate a number of experimental topics using Internet interviewing. The HRS is also characterized by links to a rich array of administrative data, including: Employer Pension Plans; National Death Index; Social Security Administration earnings and (projected) benefits data; W-2 self-employment data; and Medicare and Medicaid files. The HRS has actively collaborated with other longitudinal studies of aging in other countries (e.g., ELSA, SHARE, MHAS), providing both scientific and technical assistance. Data Availability: All publicly available data may be downloaded after registration. Early Release data files are typically available within three months of the end of each data collection, with the Final Release following at 24 months after the close of data collection activities. Files linked with administrative data are released only as restricted data through an application process, as outlined on the HRS website. * Dates of Study: 1992-present * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority Oversamples, Anthropometric Measures, Biospecimens * Sample Size: 22,000+ Link * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06854

A dataset of a prospective panel study of health and aging in Mexico. The study was designed to ensure comparability with the U.S. Health and Retirement Study in many domains, and the NHANES III. The baseline survey in 2001 is nationally representative of the 13 million Mexicans born prior to 1951. The six Mexican states which are home to 40% of all migrants to the U.S. were over-sampled at a rate of 1.7:1. Spouse/partners of eligible respondents were interviewed also, even if the spouse was born after 1950. Completed interviews were obtained in 9,862 households, for a total of 15,186 individual interviews. All interviews were face-to-face, with average duration of 82 minutes. A direct interview (on the Basic questionnaire) was sought, and Proxy interviews were obtained when poor health or temporary absence precluded a direct interview. Questionnaire topics included the following: * HEALTH MEASURES: self-reports of conditions, symptoms, functional status, hygienic behaviors (e.g., smoking & drinking history), use/source/costs of health care services, depression, pain, reading and cognitive performance; * BACKGROUND: Childhood health and living conditions, education, ability to read/write and count, migration history, marital history; * FAMILY: rosters of all children (including deceased children); for each, demographic attributes, summary indicators of childhood and current health, education, current work status, migration. Parent and sibling migration experiences; * TRANSFERS: financial and time help given to and received by respondent from children, indexed to specific child; time and financial help to parent; * ECONOMIC: sources and amounts of income, including wages, pensions, and government subsidies; type and value of assets. All amount variables are bracketed in case of non-response. * HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: type, location, building materials, other indicators of quality, and ownership of consumer durables; * ANTHROPOMETRIC: for a 20% sub-sample, measured weight, height; waist, hip, and calf circumference; knee height, and timed one-leg stands. Current plans are to conduct another two follow-up surveys in 2012 and 2014 and will field the 3rd and 4th waves of survey data collection in Mexico. For the 2012 wave, interviews will be sought for: every person who was part of the panel in 2003 and their new spouse / partner, if applicable, and a new sample of persons born between 1952 and 1962. For the 2014 wave, we will follow-up the whole sample from 2012. Interviews will be conducted person-to-person. Direct interviews will be sought with all informants, but proxy interviews are allowed for those unable to complete their own interview for health or cognitive reasons. A next-of-kin interview will be completed with a knowledgeable respondent for those who were part of the panel but have died since the last interview. A sub-sample will be selected to obtain objective markers such as blood sample and anthropometric measures. Data Availability: The 2001 baseline data, 2003 follow-up data, and documentation can be downloaded. * Dates of Study: 2001-2003 * Study Features: Longitudinal, International, Anthropometric Measures * Sample Size: 2001: 15,186 (Baseline) Link: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/00142
