[Agency] NIH [Project Title] NEUROIE: A TOOL FOR MINING THE NEUROANATOMIC VOLUMETRIC LITERATURE [Institution] MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL [Amount] $219,301 [Summary] Neuroimaging techniques such as MRI, fMRI and PET provide a wealth of quantitative information related to anatomy, function, development, and disease etiology of the nervous system. Experimental studies utilizing neuroimaging techniques have generated and reported growing amount of research results in the literature. The availability of these results allows neuroscience researchers to perform comparative and integrative studies to discover new knowledge and generate new hypotheses. However, because that much of these results are published in the full text body of the articles as tables and figures, in addition to the textural format, they are not readily available for systematic retrieval and access via most online databases of scientific literature, such as PubMed, that cover only the abstracts and citations. To address this problem, we have developed the Internet Brain Volume Database (IBVD), a web-based searchable database of neuroanatomic volumetric observations manually curated from the journal articles. However, it is becoming apparent that our current labor-intensive manual approach is inadequate to keep pace with the growing number of publications.
