Dr. Reiss is collaborating with >basic and clinical neuroscientists from The Johns Hopkins >University, University of Rochester, Standford University, >University of Toronto, and Tufts University. > >While neuroscientists have compiled a considerable amount of >knowledge about the brain, understanding the specific structure- >function associations, as Dr. Reiss attests, remains at an early >stage. Lacking is a comprehensive, coordinated approach to linking >these bodies of knowledge. Amassing and analyzing the acquired >information is critical to discovering new findings about the >brain's functions. > >Likening this project to the Human Genome Project, in which >DNA mapping was achieved, Dr. Reiss says, "Mapping the human brain >is somewhat more complex than mapping DNA, because the human genome >is more standard in its fundamental structure and function. By >comparison, understanding how the structures of the brain >interrelate to underlyiing human behavior and development is at a >very, very early level." > >*Infinite Benefits to Neurobiology of Children* > >According to Dr. Reiss, many brain dysfunctions are currently >described as "disorders" or "syndromes" as their specific causes >are unidentified. For example, many different causes of mental >retardation make the diagnosis heterogeneous in nature. Yet, all >mental retardation originates from brain dysfunctions.

And, >ultimately, for disorders such as autism, hyperactivity and mental >retardation, the implications of a brain mapping data base can be >far-reaching and the benefits innumerable, as scientists will be >able to link the many intricacies involved in brain dysfunction. > >*Project to Progress in Phases* > >However, reaching this level is not a simple task. It is a >long-term endeavor to be conducted in two phases. While Phase 2 >will involve the actual construction of complex digital and >electronic resources, Phase 1 --already in progress --is a multi- >year projected plan to study its feasibility. With funding from >the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Dr. >Reiss is tackling Phase 1 Feasibility Studies. "This is really the >initial stage of attempting to figure out what methods are going to >be used to map the function and structure of the human brain," Dr. >Reiss explains. > >Dr. Reiss looks at Phase 1 of the project as a cornerstone to >its future integration into the international community: "You've >got to think about this as a basic foundation. And our corner of >the foundation is to offer at the end of five years some very >advanced software tools that will allow three-dimensional >visualization, manipulation, and quantification of brain images." > > The project's long-range objectives are threefold: > * The application of sophisticated computer software to >visualize the complexity of the human brain. > * Development of a scientific computer data base to organize >data in a way that makes each component of brain research more >easily accessible. > * Initiation of a computer network to efficiently communicate >this data to other researchers. > >*Organization of This Massive Amount of Data* > >Beginning with NIH-Image, a basic image processing software >program in the public domain, Dr. Reiss and associates have made >significant modifications to make it more conducive to brain image >processing and analysis. Co-investigator Joseph Hennessey is >executing the programming portion of the project. "Joe is really >a superb programmer, one of the most skilled computer science >professionals I know," says Dr. Reiss. "He is particularly skilled >at being able to rapidly assimilate and apply the necessary >information." > >"This is a very exciting project for me," says Hennessey. >"Hopefully, a lot of researchers are going to be able to use our >program. We are going to distribute it over a global computer >network from our lab. Researchers are going to be able to download >it electronically, in a matter of seconds, from anywhere in the >world." > >Dr. Reiss adds, "Most programs only allow the user to >visualize two-dimensional slices; we are putting a lot of emphasis >on three-dimensional aspects, because after all, the brain is a >three-dimensional structure." > >"It's not good enough just to look at a picture of the brain; >you have to be able to do something with it. The picture has to be >able to quantitatively tell you something about how normal or >abnormal the brain is. So, we're working on reliable and valid >automated techniques to separate out different structure or tissue >types in the brain. Then, you don't have to necessarily rely on a >human being to reproduce him or herself each time." > >*Unique Availability of Archives for Cross-validation* > >Dr. Reiss' lab has over 500 scans and corresponding clinical >data archived from healthy children and children with many >different brain disorders. This unique availability of data will >facilitate early clinical studies of specific hypotheses >associating the pediatric brain and behavior, parceling out >subgroups at the neurobiological level. Also, using scans from >children with homogeneous disorders, the accuracy of the computer >images can be cross-validated by targeting particular regions of >the brain where the disorders are thought to originate. > >Dr. Reiss explains, "If you have a magnetic resonance image >(MRI) scan, which gives you a sense of structure of the human >brain, you can map onto that a positron emission tomography (PET) >scan, which gives you function. Then you will get the best of both >worlds --you have anatomy and structure of the brain, and mapped on >top of that, you will see the function of the human brain." > >And after all, a major component of the Kennedy Krieger >Institute's mission is to understand how the human brain functions >and dysfunctions in children. With this mission in mind, Dr. Reiss >is visibly enthusiastic about this cutting edge technology in the >Institute's neuroimaging laboratory, but he also realizes the great >detail involved in executing such a task: "It's a marathon, and >we're at the beginning of the race.
