National Neuroinformatics Framework for Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA).

ABSTRACT: The Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) launched the "International Collaborative Research Strategy for Alzheimer's Disease" as a signature initiative, focusing on Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and related neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs). The Canadian Consortium for Neurodegeneration and Aging (CCNA) was subsequently established to coordinate and strengthen Canadian research on AD and NDDs. To facilitate this research, CCNA uses LORIS, a modular data management system that integrates acquisition, storage, curation, and dissemination across multiple modalities. Through an unprecedented national collaboration studying various groups of dementia-related diagnoses, CCNA aims to investigate and develop proactive treatment strategies to improve disease prognosis and quality of life of t
