Description: THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on March 19,2024. Brain tissue donation is a valuable contribution to mental health research. It enables scientists to investigate how the normal brain works, and how the brain is disturbed when it is affected by schizophrenia, depression, bipolar (manic depressive) disease or other related disorders. The Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh has established a brain tissue bank to which brain tissue can be donated at no expense. The gift of brain tissue enables scientists to conduct research designed to understand causes, to develop new treatments, and ultimately to find cures for diseases that affect the brain. Brain tissue donation is a gift that makes it possible for researchers to study various types of mental disorders. Donations of brain tissue from individuals without these disorders are also needed to establish comparisons with brain samples from individuals who have these disorders. Any legally competent adult or guardian may indicate during life their interest in donating brain tissue after death. Next-of-kin either of healthy individuals or of those with psychiatric disorders may give consent to donate brain tissue following the death of a loved one. Brain tissue is removed during autopsy at a morgue or hospital and is transported to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for examination and study.
