Brain Bank

At Maclean Hospital, Harvard Brain Tissue Research Center collects, dissects, stores, and provides brain tissue, which has been donated to science. The center maintains an extensive collection of post-mortem human brain tissue, stemming from individuals with Huntington's chorea, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. The Center also has a collection of brains from individuals diagnosed with neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, as well as a group of "normal " brains, which are used in comparison groups for all brain disorders. The brains are available to researchers around the world, who can request a whole or portion of the brain they are studying. (Photo by Rick Friedman/Corbis via Getty Images)
