| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study is to collect and study the brain tissue of deceased individuals
to learn more about the nervous system and mental disorders. Information gained from donated
tissue may lead to better treatments and potential cures for nervous system and mental
disorders.
This study will ask relatives of deceased individuals to donate the brains of their deceased
relatives to allow further study of neurological and psychiatric disorders....
|
| Study summary: |
|
The knowledge of how affected tissue deviates from normal control tissue is an integral part
of fully understanding a neurological or psychiatric disorder. The purpose of this protocol
is to establish a coordinating program with the pathology departments of the Washington,
D.C. and metropolitan area hospitals and local medical examiner's offices for the donation
of brain tissue. |
| Criteria: |
|
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
Brain tissue is needed from individuals suffering from a variety of neuropsychiatric
disorders, especially schizophrenia, but also anxiety disorders, suicide, bipolar
disorder, depression, Tourette's Syndrome, drug addictions (PCP, cocaine, alcohol, heroin
or the like) and any form of dementia. In addition, brains from normal individuals
without a history of neuropsychiatric disease will be needed for controls. |
