Brain Banking of Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases, Volume 150 serves as the only book on the market to offer comprehensive coverage of the functional realities of brain banking. Focus includes: brain donor recruitment strategies, brain bank networks, ethical issues, brain dissection/tissue processing/tissue dissemination, neuropathological diagnosis, brain donor data, and techniques in brain tissue analysis. In accordance with massive initiatives, such as BRAIN and the EU Human Brain Project, abnormalities and potential therapeutic targets of neurological and psychiatric disorders need to be validated in human brain tissue, thus requiring substantial numbers of well characterized human brains of high tissue quality with neurological and psychiatric diseases. Offers comprehensive coverage of the functional realities of brain banking, with a focus on brain donor recruitment strategies, brain bank networks, ethical issues, and moreServes as a valuable resource for staff in existing brain banks by highlighting best practicesEnhances the sharing of expertise between existing banks and highlights a range of techniques applicable to banked tissue for neuroscience researchersEdited work with chapters authored by leaders from brain banks around the globe - the broadest, most expert coverage available INDICE: Section I.
