Sponsor's own description

Background: The Human Brain Collection Core (HBCC) collects brain and other tissues. They get these from deceased people who may or may not have had psychiatric disorders. The next of kin gives permission for researchers to get the tissues. Researchers want to collect medical details of people whose brains are donated. They also want to use the donated tissue to study brain chemistry and structure. This could lead to better treatments for mental illness. Objective: To create a collection of human brain tissue to learn about the causes and mechanisms of mental disorders. Eligibility: People willing to donate their deceased relative s brain tissue. The deceased person could not have had any of the following: Severe mental retardation Long-lasting seizure disorder Infections that affect the brain Decomposition Brain damage Being on a respirator for more than 12 hours Major sepsis Serious renal or hepatic disease Certain dementias and degenerative diseases Design: Medical Examiner s Offices will screen donors who have recently died. Some others will be screened by hospitals or funeral homes. Participants will be the next of kin. They will give consent for HBCC to obtain brain tissue from the deceased person. The tissue will be frozen for future research. Participants will have a 30-minute phone call. They will answer questions about the deceased person s medical and psychiatric conditions. They will answer questions about the person s use of medicines and drugs. Participants will be contacted by a social worker. They will be asked for permission to access the deceased person s medical records.
