The Michigan Brain Bank provides individuals and families an opportunity to contribute to research. Participants are eligible if they are enrolled in an affiliated study or were seen by a neurologist at the University of Michigan. Information packets consist of a brochure, a booklet explaining the brain autopsy program, a wallet-sized information card, and refrigerator magnet.
When the participant dies, the next-of-kin is sent a pathology report, free of charge, for their family member’s gift to the advancement of research. Findings are summarized in a cover letter, along with an invitation to contact the brain bank director with any questions.
