Your decision to donate brain tissue helps advance Alzheimer’s and dementia research.
Why brain donation matters
How Your Brain Donation Can Help Advance Science
Careful examination of brain tissue under a microscope remains the only way to confirm a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia with certainty. Donated brain tissue gives researchers the vital material they need to study disease mechanisms in depth, uncover underlying causes, and work toward developing effective treatments.
How Donation Helps
Three Pillars of Brain Donation
Definitive Diagnosis
Brain tissue analysis allows scientists to confirm diagnoses with absolute certainty, providing crucial insights that cannot be obtained through clinical observation alone.
Advancing Research
Donated brain tissue fuels groundbreaking research, helping scientists uncover the mechanisms behind dementia and explore new strategies for prevention and treatment.
A Meaningful Gift
Brain donation is a meaningful and lasting contribution. Patients and their families can choose to support scientific discovery and leave a legacy that benefits future generations.
“Brain donation is a meaningful and valuable gift that a patient and his or her family can choose to give in support of advancing scientific knowledge.”
Want to Make a Lasting Impact on Alzheimer’s Research?
By choosing brain donation, you provide researchers with the resources needed to advance understanding and develop therapies that may one day prevent or cure Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Your contribution helps shape a future with hope and improved care for countless families.
