The Evolving Neuroanatomical Component of the Foundational Model of Anatomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to meet the need for an expressive ontology in neuroinformatics, we have integrated the extensive terminologies of NeuroNames and Terminologia Anatomica into the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA). We have enhanced the FMA to accommodate information unique to neuronal structures, such as axonal input/output relationships.

Neuroanatomical domain of the foundational model of anatomy ontology
BACKGROUND The diverse set of human brain structure and function analysis methods represents a difficult challenge for reconciling multiple views of neuroanatomical organization. While different views of organization are expected and valid, no widely adopted approach exists to harmonize different brain labeling protocols and terminologies. Our approach uses the natural organizing framework prov...
متن کاملApplication of Neuroanatomical Ontologies for Neuroimaging Data Annotation
The annotation of functional neuroimaging results for data sharing and re-use is particularly challenging, due to the diversity of terminologies of neuroanatomical structures and cortical parcellation schemes. To address this challenge, we extended the Foundational Model of Anatomy Ontology (FMA) to include cytoarchitectural, Brodmann area labels, and a morphological cortical labeling scheme (e...
متن کاملP43: Neuroanatomical Basis of Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by an unpleasant manner of inner distress, often accompanied by nervous behavior. Anxiety is related to the particular behaviors of fight or flight responses. The amygdala, the insula and anterior cingulate cortex seem to be critical, and all three have been referred to as the fear network .The amygdala which plays a fundamental role in neural network of fear...
متن کاملA Network Based Theory of Health Systems and Cycles of Well-being
There are two dominant approaches to describe and understand the anatomy of complete health and well-being systems internationally. Yet, neither approach has been able to either predict or explain occasional but dramatic crises in health and well-being systems around the world and in developed emerging market or developing country contexts. As the impacts of such events can be measured not simp...
متن کاملChallenges in reconciling different views of neuroanatomy in a reference ontology of anatomy.
A fundamental requirement for integrating neuroscience data is a well-structured ontology that can incorporate, accommodate and reconcile different neuroanatomical views. Here we describe the challenges in creating such ontology, and, because of its principled design, illustrate the potential of the Foundational Model of Anatomy to be that ontology.
