| Functional
MRI Core (fMRI) |
| The
functional MRI Facility (fMRIF)
is a core resource serving the intramural research program.
It was initiated in March of 1999 primarily by the National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute
for Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Its function is
to serve as a resource by which all NIH institutes can
perform functional MRI (fMRI) studies to further the understanding
of healthy and diseased brain function and physiology.

Magnetic
Resonance Spectroscopy Core (MRS)
The magnetic resonance
spectroscopy (MRS) core is a facility that focuses on development and technical
support of in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques with the
aim to facilitate the clinical and basic research using in vivo MRS. |
|
| Magnetoencephalography
Core (MEG) |
|
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is
a non-invasive procedure similar to electroencephalography
(EEG) in terms of basic principles and analysis, however,
MEG consists of sitting in a chair or lying on a bed while
your head is inside a helmet shaped device which contains
magnetic field sensors. |
| Microarray
Core |
| The
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
have entered into a collaborative effort with the National
Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to establish a
Microarray Core Facility for Intramural investigators. |
| Neurophysiology Imaging Facility |
The Neurophysiology Imaging Facility’s 4.7 Tesla Vertical magnet is one of a handful of scanners in the world dedicated to functional imaging in the alert primate brain.
The facility was made possible by joint contributions from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Eye Institute (NEI), and the National Institute for
Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
|
| Non-Human
Primate Core (NHP) |
| The
mission of the NIMH IRP Neurobiology Non-Human
Primate Core is to develop and
provide support for assessment of non-human primate models
to assist NIMH IRP research objectives, particularly those
related to causes and treatment of psychiatric disorders.
|
| Scientific
and Statistical Computing Core |
|
SSCC
is the Scientific
and Statistical
Computing
Core
of the NIMH Intramural Research Program. The
primary function
of this core is to support functional neuroimaging research
at the NIH. |
| Transgenic Core |
The NIMH transgenic core facility produces genetically manipulated mice for neuroscience investigators at the NIH. Transgenic mice can be produced by inserting DNA into mouse oocyte nuclei, or targeting integration to specific loci in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Also, mouse lines can be archived by cryopreservation or rederived by embryo transfer. A collection of ES lines and transgenic vectors are available.
