The UMKC Neuroscience Brain Tissue Bank and Research Laboratory has been established to obtain, process, and distribute human brain tissue to qualified scientists and clinicians dedicated to neuroscience research. No other living organ approaches the human brain in complexity or capacity. Healthy, it astounds and inspires miracles. Diseased, it confounds and diminishes hope. The use of human brain tissue for research will provide insight into the anatomical and neurochemical aspects of diseased and non-diseased brains. While animal models are helpful and necessary in understanding disease, certain disorders can be more efficiently studied using human brain tissue. Also, modern research techniques are often best applied to human tissue. We also need samples of brain tissue that have not been affected by disease. They help us to compare a 'normal' brain with a diseased one. Also, we have a critical need for brain donations from relatives who have genetically inherited disorders. Tissue preparation consists of fresh quick-frozen tissue blocks or coronal slices (nitrogen vapor frozen; custom dissection of specific anatomic regions) or formalin-fixed coronal slices (custom dissection of specific anatomic regions). | brain tissue, brain, tissue, fresh quick-frozen, block, nitrogen vapor frozen, frozen, formalin-fixed, disease, normal, genetically inherited disorder, normal control, matched control, neuroscience, post-mortem, coronal slice |

Documented on March 19,2024. Brain tissue donation is a valuable contribution to mental health research. It enables scientists to investigate how the normal brain works, and how the brain is disturbed when it is affected by schizophrenia, depression, bipolar (manic depressive) disease or other related disorders. The Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh has established a brain tissue bank to which brain tissue can be donated at no expense. The gift of brain tissue enables scientists to conduct research designed to understand causes, to develop new treatments, and ultimately to find cures for diseases that affect the brain. Brain tissue donation is a gift that makes it possible for researchers to study various types of mental disorders. Donations of brain tissue from individuals without these disorders are also needed to establish comparisons with brain samples from individuals who have these disorders. Any legally competent adult or guardian may indicate during life their interest in donating brain tissue after death. Next-of-kin either of healthy individuals or of those with psychiatric disorders may give consent to donate brain tissue following the death of a loved one. Brain tissue is removed during autopsy at a morgue or hospital and is transported to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for examination and study. | brain tissue, brain, tissue, mental disease, normal control, schizophrenia, depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, post mortem, early adult, middle adult |

Essential Tremor Centralized Brain Repository Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Essential Tremor Centralized Brain Repository (RRID:SCR_004464) | ETCBR | biomaterial supply resource, tissue bank, material resource, brain bank | Finding a cure for any neurological disorder begins with the scientific study of the disorder''s causes, processes, and development in the brain. For essential tremor (ET), rigorous study of this kind had not been undertaken until 2003, when the Essential Tremor Centralized Brain Repository (ETCBR) was established at Columbia University. For the past five years, brain tissue from ET donors has been collected, processed and compared alongside age-matched control brains at the ETCBR, and already several significant findings have been made. However, there is still much to learn and a severe shortage of ET brains for scientific study. If you have been diagnosed with essential tremor, donating your brain tissue in the hours immediately after your death is of utmost importance in providing crucial information about what causes ET. Direct analysis of the shape and number of nerve cells and their content will provide medical researchers with the information they need in order to understand this complex illness. By advancing our medical knowledge of ET, the gift of brain tissue is a central piece of the puzzle in the search to develop better treatments and find a cure. | essential tremor, control, brain tissue, brain, tissue |

Stanford Center for Narcolepsy Resource Report Resource Website |
Stanford Center for Narcolepsy (RRID:SCR_007021) | Stanford Center for Narcolepsy | biomaterial supply resource, tissue bank, material resource, brain bank | The Stanford Center for Narcolepsy was established in the 1980s as part of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Today, it is the world leader in narcolepsy research with more than 100 articles on narcolepsy to its name. The Stanford Center for Narcolepsy was the first to report that narcolepsy-cataplexy is caused by hypocretin (orexin) abnormalities in both animal models and humans. Under the direction of Drs. Emmanuel Mignot and Seiji Nishino, the Stanford Center for Narcolepsy today treats several hundred patients with the disorder each year, many of whom participate in various research protocols. Other research protocols are conducted in animal models of narcolespy. We are always looking for volunteers in our narcolepsy research studies. We are presently recruiting narcoleptic patients for genetic studies, drug clinical trials, hypocretin measurement studies in the CSF and functional MRI studies. Monetary gifts to the Center for Narcolepsy are welcome. If you wish to make the ultimate gift, please consider participating in our Brain Donation Program. To advance our understanding of the cause, course, and treatment of narcolepsy, in 2001 Stanford University started a program to obtain human brain tissue for use in narcolepsy research. Donated brains provide an invaluable resource and we have already used previously donated brains to demonstrate that narcolepsy is caused by a lack of a very specific type of cell in the brain, the hypocretin (orexin) neuron. While the brain donations do not directly help the donor, they provide an invaluable resource and a gift to others. The real answers as to what causes or occurrs in the brain when one has narcolepsy will only be definitively understood through the study of brain tissue. Through these precious donations, narcolepsy may eventually be prevented or reversible. We currently are seeking brains from people with narcolepsy (with cataplexy and without), idiopathic hypersomnia and controls or people without a diagnosed sleep disorder of excessive sleepiness. Control brains are quite important to research, as findings must always be compared to tissue of a non-affected person. Friends and loved ones of people who suffer with narcoleps may wish to donate to our program to help fill this very important need.

GIA Brain Bank Program (RRID:SCR_008877) | biomaterial supply resource, tissue bank, material resource, brain bank | The Brain Bank was developed with two service-minded objectives: provide a free brain autopsy to confirm clinical diagnosis of dementia, and collect, bank and provide brain tissue to qualified scientific researchers studying diseases related to dementia. By working together, patients and researchers can help us understand the origins of neurodegenerative disease and eventually improve the treatment and care of dementia. The clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can only be confirmed by brain autopsy, or the examination of brain tissue after death. This examination will determine a patients's precise type of dementia. To confirm the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, for example, the brain tissue is examined for amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles by a neuropathologist. The presence of these plaques and tangles will verify the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. While it is important to us to enroll patients with dementia, it is equally important to enroll people with no dementia. These subjects are termed as controls and the brain tissue from controls will enable researchers to make comparisons to brain tissue from dementia patients. We are seeking donations from individuals who have had an age-related neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy Body or other related dementia. | brain, autopsy, clinical diagnosis, brain donation, late adult human |
