The Cell Centered Database (CCDB), launched in 2002 as one of the first Internet databases for cellular imaging data, makes 3D microscopic imaging data available to the structural biology and neuroscience communities. This database houses structural and protein distribution information derived from confocal, multiphoton, and electron microscopy, including correlated microscopy. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Neuroscience Family Tree is a free, volunteer-run website designed to help you track your academic genealogy. Our goal is to collect information about the grad-student and post-doc connections between most neuroscientists. [Information of the supplier]
Based on the extraordinary advances in neuroscience research during the last decades, this field of research developed into one of the leading disciplines of biology. Countless new findings in brain research contribute to elucidate the basic understanding of life. This includes the knowledge of fundamental subcellular processes as well as of the complex behaviour of living beings. Neuroscience research provides the key insight for many diseases, some of which are of prominent importance due to the fact that life expectancy of humans the Western society has increased considerably over the last century (e.g. Alzheimer disease). Moreover, the nervous system with its neuronal nets has become a model for calculating algorithms. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) is an interactive, genome-wide image database of gene expression in the mouse brain. A combination of RNA in situ hybridization data, detailed Reference Atlases and informatics analysis tools are integrated to provide a searchable digital atlas of gene expression. Together, these resources present a comprehensive online platform for exploration of the brain at the cellular and molecular level. ... [Information of the supplier]
ModelDB is a curated database of published models in the broad domain of computational neuroscience. It addresses the need for access to such models in order to evaluate their validity and extend their use. It can handle computational models expressed in any textual form, including procedural or declarative languages (e.g. C++, XML dialects) and source code written for any simulation environment. The model source code doesn't even have to reside inside ModelDB; it just has to be available from some publicly accessible online repository or WWW site. ModelDB is curated in order to maximize the scientific utility of its contents. The ideal model entry would contain "original" (author-written) source code, especially if it works and reproduces at least one figure from a published article. Original source code has tremendous value because it is what the authors used to generate the simulation results from which they derived their published insights and conclusions. High quality "third party" re-implementations of published models are also relevant, especially those involving models that are of wide interest. ... [Information of the supplier]
Genes to Cognition (G2C) is a neuroscience research programme with the dual aim of discovering fundamental biological principles and important insights into brain disease. G2C is an international collaborative program initiated by Dr. Seth Grant and supported by the Wellcome Trust following the discovery that multiprotein complexes formed by intracellular proteins and neurotransmitter receptors were important for neuronal plasticity and behaviour. Multiprotein complexes are involved with dozens of brain diseases, control multiple types of behaviours and are involved with the responses to drug treatments of mental disorders. Evolutionary studies show ancient forms of the complexes evolved over a billion years in single cell animals and may represent the origin of the brain. The long term goal is to understand the molecular basis of the extraordinarily complex brain of humans, how this complexity evolved, what it confers on behaviour and why brain evolution made us susceptible to mental illness. The G2C project has a unique database called G2Cdb that houses data resources from the research program and G2C has a very interesting educational program called G2COnline. ...

Database of Migratory Species at Global scale (4344 species, 5500 literature references, Internet-Links, data on distribution and migration behaviour, 1174 GIS-maps, Threat Analysis) - Migratory species are an important dynamic component of biodiversity. The conservation and protection of these species requires international cooperation. However, the level of knowledge we have is not sufficient and information is immensely scattered. Today we can only estimate the number of migratory species within a vast range of 5000 and 10000. GROMS consolidates and summarises all available information and the current states of knowledge into a relational database. It supports a Geographic Information system (GIS) interface and permits various search options for novice users and for experts. The GROMS database is structured to provide an additional tool for fact finding and decision-making by the CMS bodies and related regional Agreements as well as the Convention on Biological Diversity. To this effect, the database is designed to supply information on migratory species, their distribution map, population and bibliography. The current multilingual database contains 4,344 migratory vertebrates species, with their threat and protection status (International Red List), protection status (after CMS and CITES) as well as migration types and more than 5,500 literature citations. ...

The Animal Sound Archive (Tierstimmenarchiv) of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is an unique scientific collection. It has a large potential for scientific and educational purposes.The Animal Sound Archive of the Humboldt-University is one of the oldest and largest collections of animal sounds. Presently, the collection consists of about 110,000 bioacoustical recordings comprising almost all groups of animals: 1.800 bird species, 580 mammalian species, more then150 species of invertebrates, some fishes, amphibians and reptiles. ...

The Macaulay Library is the world's largest archive of animal sounds.We have more than 160,000 recordings of 67 percent of the world's birds, and rapidly increasing holdings of insects, fish, frogs, and mammals. The Macaulay Library is a principal source of sound recordings for basic research, education, conservation, habitat assessment, media, and commercial projects. The collection is strongest in New World species but also has substantial holdings from Africa and Madagascar, Europe, the former Soviet Union, and South East Asia. The Library archives and preserves an exhaustive sampling of the behaviors of each animal species using digital video and audio recordings. ... [Information of the supplier]
Movebank is funded by the public (NSF/USA, Max Planck/Germany) as a free-for-all global museum for animal movement data, which are a legacy of humankind. a) Movebank acquires new data in real-time by linking data streams coming from satellites, cellphone networks, or other local area networks. b) Existing (legacy) animal data are uploaded to the centralized Movebank database. c) Users who prefer to host their own data can link to Movebank resources through a distributed system. d) Users interact with data through a customizable 'cyberdashboard' with online calculators for spatial analyses, animal density estimation and other statistical tools. Animal-trackers and camera-trappers have exclusive access to their data and the option to make them "open access" to share with professionals and students, with appropriate credit. Scientists will be able to interact with their data in realtime, and make instant comparisons with legacy data from other studies. Theoreticians can mine animal movement and distribution data to test ideas related to ecological patterns, evolutionary processes, and disease spread. Conservation managers can use Movebank to show population changes over time and space. Educators will find a wealth of examples to illustrate biological principals and let students ask and answer their own questions about wild animals. ... [Information of the supplier]
