The Brainbank has been founded to support braindisease research, and has collected over 2,000 registered donors, of which 40% has been registered as normal controls. Among the pathologies collected are brains from Alzheimer, Parkinson and MS patients, but also brains from less frequent neurodegenerative diseases. Applications for access are reviewed by a scientific committee.
