Brain Donation Education and Neuropathology Enrollment

What this project does
Educates participants about brain donation and supports enrollment in the Neuropathology Core autopsy program.

Why it matters clinically
Postmortem confirmation remains essential for understanding disease mechanisms and validating biomarkers.

Key activities
-Educate participants and families about brain donation
-Coordinate enrollment into the autopsy program
-Link neuropathologic findings with longitudinal clinical data

What will be delivered
-Increased brain donation participation
-Banked tissue for future research
-Clinicopathologic correlation datasets

Who this helps
-Neuropathology researchers
-Clinicians seeking biological validation of diagnoses
