Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center

The Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center is a laboratory that collects and stores brains and other related tissues from people who have donated them for research. This resource helps scientists study the brain to better understand neurological and mental health conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or depression. By providing high-quality, well-preserved tissue samples, the center supports researchers in discovering the underlying causes of brain disorders, ultimately contributing to improved diagnosis, treatments, and prevention strategies. It serves as a vital bridge between donors and scientists working to unlock the secrets of the human brain.
