    Purpose of the resource
    We have a national facility to gather brain imaging and neurophysiological data in healthy and clinical populations. We have also a neuroinformatics infrastructure of national scope with data base and computational tools to study brain function in health and disease.
    1. The resource is

  • General (e.g. DNA sequence, proteomic data)
  • Designed for use in basic neurosciences research
  • Designed for use in clinical neurosciences research

    • 2. The resource specifically provides for the following neurodegenerative diseases

  • Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias
  • Motor neurone diseases
  • Prion disease
  • Huntington’s disease
  • Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)
  • Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
  • Neurodegenerative disease in general

    • 3a. The resource is accessible to the research community
