Alzheimer's Association
BrainWeb & Brain Information (BWBI) "The BrainWeb and Brain Information (BWBI) is a niche resource that offers excellent information for the defined areas of coverage. It is not yet a comprehensive, in-depth resource for every kind of brain research and neurological disorder, but it provides sound information in the areas addressed and legitimate Web links to more obscure disorders. BWBI was created by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, a nonprofit organization of more than 270 neuroscientists. The overall Dana Alliance Web site features broad-ranging current news and information resources about the neurosciences. BWBI features structured information on 35 disorders or areas of research: Alzheimer's disease, Anxiety, Autism, Blindness/Vision Impairment, Brain Injury, Deafness/Hearing Impairment, Depression, Headache, Imaging, Memory, Mental Illness, Pain, Sleep Disorders, Stress, Stroke, and more. Each disorder has a separate page with two kinds of links. The first section of links is to authoritative national resources. Most of the 35 items have a second section titled Dana Links that includes an extensive guide article and other quality articles posted to the site. Two technical problems need correcting. The page-loading time to internal links can be slow. Additionally, although the Dana Links sections have a printer-friendly option, the front page to each topic does not. When printing front pages, the first page is the header and the second page has the text. Any text exceeding one page does not print. Despite these glitches, the credibility and legitimacy of the expert information cited and the resources offered make this an unusually good medical resource." Choice, September 2009.
Wormatlas "A database of behavioral and structural anatomy of Caenorhabditis elegans. Also includes links, a glossary, and more."
