It is a first-of-its-kind digital repository of data in India on brain structure and function from a range of psychiatric disorders.
It was initiated in 2016 as part of the Accelerator program for Discovery in Brain disorders using Stem cells (ADBS project).
Funding: It was jointly funded by the Department of Biotechnology and the Pratiksha Trust.
Goal: To better understand neuropsychiatric disorders, disease onset, progression, and underlying biological changes.
It will be made open source, thereby opening it up for clinicians and researchers aiming to study neuropsychiatric disorders and to better understand disease onset, progression and underlying biological changes leading to disease symptoms.
It collects clinical, neuro-imaging, behavioural, genetic and other datasets on five disorders – addiction, bipolar disorder, dementia, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and
CALM-Brain will help clinicians and researchers
To understand the onset of neuropsychiatric disease
