What tissue is available for research?
All diagnoses assigned to brains available for research are part of a drop-down list in the electronic request form. If the diagnosis you are interested in is not included in the list, it means that no tissue, representative of this diagnosis, is available. Providing concomitant diagnoses (e.g. tissue of brains with Alzheimer disease as a primary diagnosis and cerebral infarcts as a secondary diagnosis) may decrease the likelihood of finding samples which match your request. While brains of the desired diagnosis may be part of our inventory, specific regions may not be. We will give you notification as to how much of your request we are able to fulfill before sending you samples. We take great care to match the variables of your requests with those of the available samples, as closely as possible. However, a perfect match may not be possible.
