This list includes major disease categories from which tissue specimens are currently available in the Center's inventory. Some regions of brain specimens may have been dissected out for use by various researchers. Please see the information on how to obtain specimens from the Center or contact us to see availability of specific diagnoses, structure/regions of the brain, pecimens of your research interest.
