  • Title: How to run a "brain bank"? Clinical and institutional requirements for "brain banking".
    Author: Jendroska K, Patt S, Jänisch W, Cervos-Navarro J, Poewe W.
    Journal: J Neural Transm Suppl; 1993; 39():71-5. PubMed ID: 8360666.
    Abstract:
    "Brain Banking" or prospective sampling of tissues relevant to the study of neurological disease is a complex task which needs organization at various levels of operation such as the establishment of a donor system, recruitment of clinical assessment centres, establishment of standardized assessment protocols, the inauguration of logistic structures for brain removal and transport to the bank, proper storage of patient data and tissues, histological verification of the disease and availability of tissue and clinical data to researchers. This effort certainly promises to bear fruit since there is a striking lack of precise prospective studies into etiology and pathogenesis in most neurological diseases especially in the field of the neurodegenerative diseases.
