Funded Activity Summary

Brain disorders are a major public health and economic problem. Study of brain tissues from deceased patients using current technologies has great potential to unlock our understanding of how these diseases occur and may lead to improvements in diagnosis, treatment or the development of preventative strategies. The furthering of this knowledge as new technologies come on-line justifies the need to develop a National Network devoted to storage and provision of carefully characterised brain tissue to neuroscientists.
