Information about Brain Donation

A patient/donor information booklet explaining our methodology and aims with human post mortem brain research is currently being worked on.
This booklet contains information about how to make a brain donation and the importance of informing ones next-of-kin of ones intention.
As the quality of brain tissue is of crucial importance for getting reliable data, we can only collect brain tissue from donors within 24 hours after death, which strikes the value of informing ones relatives.
No brain tissue is used without a written consent from the donor or his/her relatives.
This booklet will be available through patient associations, in psychiatry wards and on our homepage.
