This renewal of a P20 application of the Human Brain Project MH/DA52154, will extend our previous efforts by developing a federated computer network (NeuroNET) that can store, manipulate and retrieve large datasets complied by the collaborating investigators, using a fiber optic, high speed computer information network at UC Davis. The project is built around and designed to manage data obtained from high resolution human and monkey brain atlases, molecular and cellular mapping studies, morphometry, studies of brain connections, and functional imaging. Cores will develop tools for creating and manipulating databases derived from these data. There is an Administrative Core and 7 collaborating and highly interactive projects organized as: a Visualization Core, an Informatics Core and an Atlas and Database Group. The Visualization Core has expertise in storage, manipulation and display of large datasets. It will construct a NeuroImage Repository, and will develop software tools for manipulating and graphically displaying high resolution histological and neurochemical brain atlases and for distributing simplified images using Internet methodologies. The Informatics Core has expertise in database design and management. It will help design and will integrate graphical and non-graphical databases derived from individual projects and will develop software tools for building subdiscipline specific vocabularies, for linking components of diverse information sets derived from different subdisciplines of Neuroscience to one another, and for network retrieval of information from diverse datasets. In the Atlas and Database Group, there are five highly interactive projects:
