- Description
- The acute shortage of human brain tissue to fuel the research that scientists, clinicians, and patient advocates say is necessary to advance the treatment of neurogenerative diseases is slowing scientific discovery. Brain biobanks play an essential role in accelerating the development of innovative neurotechnologies, yet remain limited in numbers, and narrow in their scope and the distribution of samples. Biobanking whole brains shares many common activities with the broader field of human tissue biobanking. Although both streams of biobanking ultimately aim to facilitate health and medical research, some aspects of brain banking are unique. These particularities of brain donation and banking present unique challenges for internal and external brain banking stakeholders.
