## Description

The Human Brain Collection Core (HBCC) at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), is a brain bank dedicated to the acquisition and distribution of brain and associated tissue, to better understand the causes, consequences and potential treatments of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The HBCC also acquires brains of adults and children in order to study changes in brain chemistry and structure that occur during development.

HBCC seeks tissue from both psychiatrically healthy and afflicted individuals in order to establish the neuropathological changes underlying complex neuropsychiatric disorders. This research will lead to improved diagnosis, treatment and/or prevention of these illnesses and their consequences. Therefore, the NIMH has a need to locate a source(s) capable of providing donor specimens on an on-going basis from licensed Medical Examiner's Offices or other sources such as hospitals to continue this research. Please refer to attachments for additional information.
