Description:
The UK Brain Bank Network is an initiative, led by the "Brains for Dementia Research" cohort study, to establish a coordinated national network of UK brain tissue resources (banks) for researchers to use.
The banks store post-mortem brain and central nervous system (CNS) tissue donated by the public for diagnosis and research into disorders. Advances in understanding genetics and many of the molecules that define brain function mean that more and more research questions can be answered from human brain tissue.
